Getting JIRA variables into Bamboo

[Andrew Benz]

I'm trying to set up a build that runs automatically after checkins into SVN. The build plan has four stages, the fourth of which will be manual, and that I want to be triggered from a JIRA release. The first task in this step is to create an SVN tag using the JIRA version and the bamboo build number.

Most of this is set up and working correctly, except that the JIRA version is not pulled into Bamboo. In the 'tag name' field in the VCS Tagging task, I have '${bamboo.jira.version}.${bamboo.buildNumber}' because I want something like 1.2.3.423, where 1.2.3 is the JIRA version number and 423 is the bamboo build number.

When I release the version from JIRA, the tag is created in SVN, but the tag name has the words ${bamboo.jira.version} in it. The following is the log file for this task:

Hi Andrew, are you using a Manual Stage? There was a bug recently that prevented the JIRA variables being set when a manal stage was in used. I'm told by our development team that this is fixed in Bamboo 4.1 (shipping this week).
