With Admin Toolbox, you can efficiently perform bulk changes across all your versions in Jira projects. These changes include:

  • Update the name and description of a version.

  • Add a version to multiple projects.

  • Remove a version from multiple projects.

  • Delete a version from multiple projects.

Access the Bulk change version popup

On the Projects page, on the Advanced tab, select Bulk operations → Versions to access the Bulk change popup.
It lists all versions from the filtered projects and the projects in which each version exists.

From there, you can create, update, and delete versions and add or remove them to and from projects.

Only specific projects displayed

The popup initially displays only the projects as filtered for on the advanced tab. However, you can also refine your selection inside the bulk change popup.

Grouped by name

All versions in the popup are grouped by name. Although versions are created per project and possess unique IDs, they are displayed as one if they share the same name.
Changing a version's name will update it across all projects where it is used.

Create versions

Create a new version by clicking the Add version button at the top right of the bulk change popup. A version can only be created if it is associated with at least one project.

Update versions

To update a version's name or description, click the Edit button next to the displayed version.

Versions are grouped by name, not by ID.

Editing a version that is related to several projects results in updating the version in each of those projects.
