Tool needs to maintain (create and release) versions for projects. How?

[Cathy Campbell]

I need a way to automatically create the next version number on two projects within our JIRA. Since we release multiple times a week, manually entering the versions is no longer a viable solution. Is there a tool (preferably) or a script that I can run that will automatically give me the next version number and can be reset if we have to set it off a new numbering system.

We use bitbucket/stash

Hello Cathy,

Welcome to Atlassian Community.

I was not able to find any options to achieve your need in JIRA Cloud, however, Scriptrunner plugin can be used to automatically create versions in JIRA Server (And maybe in JIRA Cloud). 

You can se the threads below for more information:

- How to create JIRA releases automatically?

- Does anyone know of a way to automatically release a kanban board?

Basically, there's an interface called VersionManager implemented by the class DefaultVersionManager where you can obtain a reference from the ComponentAccessor directly.

Let me know if the information in the threads help you achieve your need. Additionally, feel free to contact Adaptavist support for further questions about the script.
