In the example below we have the following set-up in Jirawill create a project link with a project that has existing versions that we would like to keep:

Project: VCS - Source (team managed)

Versions: 1.0.0 & 2.0.0

Project: VCS - Target 1 (team managed)

Versions: 1.0.0 & 3.0.0

To share versions/components from the VCS - Source project, we will create a project link with project VCS - Target 1

  • Navigate to the Version & Component Sync page in the Source project.

  • Click on Create a project link

  • Select the project(s) you want to link to the Source project. Versions from VCS - Source will be propagated to selected project(s)After selecting the desired projects to link to VCS - Source, click

  • Click on Next: synchronisation

  • To ensure existing versions maintain in VCS - Target 1 we will uncheck the Delete trigger. All other triggers will remain checked.

    By creating filters you can control which versions are in-or excluded from synchronisation. In this example we will not use any filters

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

Synchronisation

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

Version 1.0.0

  • The app recognises that version 1.0.0 in VCS - Source already exists in VCS - Target 1

  • The app links version 1.0.0 in VCS - Source to version 1.0.0 in VCS - Target 1

  • This links ensures that any and all version changes to version 1.0.0 in VCS - Source are synchronised to version 1.0.0 in VCS - Target 1

Version 2.0.0

  • The app recognises that version 2.0.0 does not exist in VCS - Target 1

  • The app creates version 2.0.0 in VCS - Target 1

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

  • The app makes sure that upon creation of the ‘new’ version 2.0.0 in VCS - Target 1 it is linked to version 2.0.0. in VCS - Source

  • This links ensures that any and all version changes to version 2.0.0 in VCS - Source are synchronised to version 2.0.0 in VCS - Target 1

Version 3.0.0

  • The app recognises that version 3.0.0 in VCS - Target 1 does not exist in VCS - Source

  • Due to unchecking the delete trigger the app will not delete version 3.0.0 in VCS - Target 1

Project: VCS - Source (team managed)

Versions: 1.0.0 & 2.0.0

Project: VCS - Target 1 (team managed)

Versions: 1.0.0, 2.0.0 & 3.0.0

To edit or delete a existing project link:

  • Navigate to the Version & Component Sync page in the target project or click on the Linked project link on the Version & Component Sync page in the source project.

  • Navigate to the Settings tab

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