How to add a project version state?

[Dušan Juhás]

Is it possible to add a new project version state?

By default, it is possible to have a version in following states:

• unreleased
• released
• released and built
• archived

Is it possible to add a new state - in test?

How?

Code.

You'll need to amend the core functionality in Jira to support this.

Are there any resources you can point us to on how to approach this? I will be needing to do this as well.

I'm not that sure where to start really. I know you'll need to unpick the code that provides the version functionality so you can override/extend it, and think through how your changes affect the grouping in the version field drop-down lists.

If you've got a copy of the code for Jira (Commercial licencees have access) then that is where to start.

We would also like to add a few extra states to our versions. Has there been any progress on this front since 2013? 

[Nic Brough -Adaptavist-]

Nope, there's no appetite to do this from what I've read here and on JaC

Is there any update on this matter?

Was anyone able to add a new Version Status?

Thanks in advance
