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 mode, 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

Version 1.0.0

• The app recognises that version 1.0.0 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 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
