Hey everyone,
I’m using JIRA 3.13 for project management and I was wondering if there’s a way to set up automatic email notifications for changes to project versions or components. You know, like when someone creates a new version, edits an existing component, or deletes either of them.
I’ve looked through the settings but couldn’t find anything specific for this. It would be really helpful to stay on top of these changes without having to constantly check manually. Has anyone figured out how to do this or know if it’s even possible in this version of JIRA?
Thanks in advance for any help or suggestions!
I’ve encountered this issue before, and it’s definitely a limitation in JIRA 3.13. While there’s no direct way to get email alerts for project element updates, I found a roundabout solution that might help.
Consider setting up a custom field for tracking version and component changes. Then, create a workflow that updates this field whenever a version or component is modified. You can then set up email notifications based on changes to this custom field.
It’s not ideal and requires some manual configuration, but it’s the closest I’ve come to achieving what you’re after in this older JIRA version. If possible, upgrading to a newer version would provide more robust notification options.
hey bella, have u tried the jira mail handler? it might work for what u need. basically u set up filters for specific project changes n it sends emails based on those. not sure if it covers everything u want but worth a shot. good luck!
I’ve been using JIRA for years, and I can tell you that version 3.13 is quite limited when it comes to automated notifications for project element updates. Unfortunately, there’s no built-in feature for what you’re looking for.
However, I found a workaround that might help. You can create a saved filter that tracks changes to versions and components, then set up a subscription to that filter. It’s not perfect, as you’ll get notifications for all changes, not just creations or deletions, but it’s better than nothing.
To do this, go to Issues > Search for Issues, use JQL to create a filter like ‘project = YourProject AND (component CHANGED OR fixVersion CHANGED)’, save it, then subscribe to email notifications for that filter. It takes some setup, but it’s been a lifesaver for me in keeping track of these changes.
