Existing project (v2.10.2)

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
Click on Next:Synchronisation

Choose the desired synchronisation method, you can choose between Simple or Advanced
In this example we used the Simple synchronisation method
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

Synchronisation

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

The app recognises that version 1.0.0 in Master already exists in Linked Project 1
The app links version 1.0.0 in Master to version 1.0.0 in Linked Project 1
This links ensures that any and all version changes to version 1.0.0 in Master are synchronised to version 1.0.0 in Linked Project 1

The app recognises that version 2.0.0 does not exist in Linked Project 1
The app creates version 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 Master are synchronised to version 2.0.0 in Linked Project 1

The app recognises that version 3.0.0 in Linked Project 1 does not exist in Master
The app deletes version 3.0.0 in Linked Project 1
- For a more detailed explanation on why the app removes version 3.0.0 from Linked Project 1 please read about the different synchronisation modes

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
