Create project link

In the example below we have the following set-up in Jira:

To share versions/components from the Master (MAS) project, we will create a project link with project Linked Project 1 (LP1)

• Navigate to the Administration interface of the Master project.

• Go to the Version & Component Sync page

• Click on Get Started
  Make sure to thoroughly read the message in the pop-up modal before you click on continue

• Select the project(s) you want to link to the Master project, Versions from Master will be propagated to selected project(s)
  In this example we will create a project link with Linked Project 1

• After selecting Linked Project 1, click Click on Next:Synchronisation

• On the next screen you can choose your Choose the desired synchronisation mode, you can choose between Simple or Advanced
  As explained in synchronisation modes section, we will create a project link using In this example we will use the Advanced synchronisation modemethod

• After choosing the Advanced synchronisation modemethod, the app will provide you with the option to configure which events should trigger a synchronisation.

• By unchecking the Delete eventtrigger, the app will no longer remove versions from the Linked project that do not exist in the Master projects

• Please uncheck Uncheck the Delete event trigger and click on Next:Confirmation

• The app will now show an overview of the project link(s) you are creating

• Click on save, to save the project link(s)

• Upon clicking on save, the app will:

  • Start synchronising

  • Shown an overview of the created project links and their current status

• To edit or delete a existing project link click on the triple dot menu on the right of the project link

To provide you with insights in how the app works, this is what happens during synchronisation:

Synchronisation

Upon creating a project link between Master & Linked Project 1 the app checks whether there are versions present in Linked Project 1

Version 1.0.0

• The app recognises that version 1.0.0 in Master does not exist in Linked Project 1

• The app creates versions 1.0.0 in Linked Project 1

  • Jira does not allow you to link a single version to multiple projects. Therefore the app needs to create ‘new’ versions in Linked Project 1

• The app makes sure that upon creation of the ‘new’ version 1.0.0 in Linked Project 1 it is linked to version 1.0.0 in Master

• This links ensures that any and all version changes to version 1.0.0 in the Master project are synchronised to version 1.0.0 in Linked Project 1

Version 2.0.0

• The app recognises that version 2.0.0 in Master does not exist in Linked Project 1

• The app creates versions 2.0.0 in Linked Project 1

  • Jira does not allow you to link a single version to multiple projects. Therefore the app needs to create ‘new’ versions in Linked Project 1

• The app makes sure that upon creation of the ‘new’ version 2.0.0 in Linked Project 1 it is linked to version 2.0.0 in Master

• This links ensures that any and all version changes to version 2.0.0 in the Master project are synchronised to version 2.0.0 in Linked Project 1

Version 3.0.0

• The app recognises that version 3.0.0 in Linked Project 1 does not exist in Master

• Due to the unchecking of the Delete eventtrigger, the app won’t delete version 3.0.0 in Linked Project 1

Version 4.0.0

• The app recognises that version 3.0.0 in Linked Project 1 does not exist in Master

• Due to the unchecking of the Delete eventtrigger, the app won’t delete version 3.0.0 in Linked Project 1

Edit project link

To edit or delete an existing project link:

• Navigate to the version & component sync page in the Source project

• Click on the triple dot menu on the right hand side

• Here you can change the apps synchronisation method or delete the project link all together
