Important information on how to use Version & Component Sync (VCS).

To make sure you fully understand the impact that VCS has on your system, we advise you to first test the app in a test/staging environment.

Make sure you are fully aware of how the app works and that you have confirmed that it is configured and working as expected prior to using it in a production environment.

In order to test VCS, create two or more dummy projects in Jira and configure VCS project links from the Jira Project Administration screen. Make sure to verify what happens when you create, delete or change versions/components in the master project.

Reminder: When adding and saving a project link, VCS starts synchronising versions/components immediately. This could result in VCS deleting existing versions/components.

**** Please makes sure to read the add-on documentation and watch the tutorial videos ! ****

We are currently only trialing this add-on but are extremely impressed by the very swift and competent support and suitably convinced to proceed with purchase. In particular the seriousness of a security issue that we found that led to the release of 2.1.8 was fully appreciated and acted on with a resolution turned around as a beta in a matter of a few hours. With a couple of extra nice-to-haves, like being able to synchronise only selected versions based on per-project-link regular expression (because otherwise all versions are replicated in all child projects), then we will really be able to have a centralised version management without all of our users needing version admin (ie project lead/deputy) rights in all projects (see e.g. https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/JRASERVER-3156 )

I love this plugin! We use it for our major JIRA projects. Saves a ton of time for versions updates. Although we experience some issues with JIRA 7.2.7. Sync is not working for the NEW links (shows sync in JIRA admin view, but fields are still disconnected). Any ideas what might be the problem? Is the latest release could fix this issue? Thanks, Ewa

Hi Ewa,

I'm glad the add-on is helping you and your team to focus on project management instead of JIRA administration! Although it is always good to upgrade to the latest version, you might want to consider creating a support request (support@collabsoft.net). I will help you to determine the problem and hopefully we can fix it and get the sync working again!

Kind regards,

Remie Bolte

Support is definitely improving for this add on - we use it to pull together dozens of projects to a single table.

When is this going to be compatible with JIRA Version 7.3.2? Thanks

Hi Anand, I'm sorry to say I was not notified about your review / request. For what it's worth: JIRA 7.3 support has already been confirmed and the Atlassian Marketplace listing compatibility has been updated. Next time, it is best to contact support@collabsoft.net with these kind of inquiries!

Kind regards,

Re-installed after updating to get the 2/22/17 patch. But now every time I enable the add-on, the Summary view for a project's administration page looks like the HTML is mangled. When I click on the link to add a project link for Versions or Components, the link takes me back to the mangled Summary view.

Hi Ron,

Thanks for your feedback on the Version & Component Sync add-on. The problem with not finding any projects to sync with is indeed a know problem. A hotfix release will be made available on the Atlassian Marketplace by the end of today for all supported versions of the add-on to address this issue.

[UPDATE 2017-02-22]: the hotfix release that resolves this issue is now available on the Atlassian Marketplace.

Kind regards,

UPDATE: I am modifying my review, leaving the original intact below for context. The add-on was causing undesirable behavior in our Jira instance, which also ended up in linked projects not being locked to version changes, thus, not syncing correctly. Originally, the first fix provided did not work. The vendor provided a second customized add-on for our use as a temporary fix but that did not work either. The company stated they had to rewrite the add-on in order to fix the issues and get it in working order. I think close to two years has gone by since my initial review, but the company contacted me today to let me know that they rewrote the add-on and for us to try and see if it fixed our issues. As of version 2.5.4, the problem is now fixed. I understand this took a great deal of time and effort, and the fact that the company still followed up with me after this long period of time was unexpected and honestly, excellent. I am revising my 1 star review to a 4 star review as a result, and encourage others to try out the addon. The support team IS active and working on issues, contrary to old reviews, so it should be safe to install this plugin in your Jira instance. Thank you again to CollabSoft for this! OLD REVIEW The addon worked for a few weeks for us before it broke our ability to edit workflow schemes. We opened a ticket and received numerous updates about how the addon was being largely rewritten due to our problem. You can find details in this ticket here: https://collabsoft.atlassian.net/servicedesk/customer/portal/2/SUPPORT-234 Previously, we were supposed to receive a test version of the new version update and the addon was supposed to be released months ago but there has been no communication from the support team. Please use this addon at your own risk.

This was a great tool that allowed us to sync our versions across multiple projects. We had 10+ projects, setup for each scrum, and this tool allowed all scrums to stay in sync for versions. Prior to this tool, we ran into challenges keeping everything in sync. We didn't use it for components but I assume it would be just as helpful there. There were 2 small limitations that we ran into, but they were more about educating our team about how to effectively use the tool, than issues with the tool itself. 1. When a Project Admin tried to create versions in their project on a ticket, it would appear to work but then later disappear once the sync happened. This was easily solved by showing that versions needed to be created in the master project. 2. We were unable to rename versions once set. Because all the versions came from the master project, if it was updated in the master project, the version in all the other projects would become invalid and the values were removed. Its not a big deal (you can do a historic search on versions and bulk update them to the new name), but it would be nice to enable some sort of renaming functionality.

Hi Chris,

Thanks for the kind words and the elaborate feedback. Feedback likes this allows us to keep improving our product! A renaming functionality is a great suggestion, I added it to our product backlog.

We are a medical device company and use multiple Jira projects to create our product, document it, and support it. We need to accurately track the versions and also be able to accurately filter on usage and problems by feature. Using the master versions and components lists across projects keeps our data and trending clean and accurate.

Pricing FAQ

How does server app pricing work?

Server products and apps are hosted on your servers. This app is sold as a perpetual license, and the purchase price includes 12 months of maintenance (support and version updates).

You can renew maintenance after 12 months at 50% of the current purchase price. You can upgrade the tier of your Atlassian product and app licenses at any time. Upgrade prices are calculated based on Atlassian's formula (view example).

If app pricing changes after your initial purchase, there's a 60-day grandfathering period during which you can renew based on the old pricing.

How do I determine my server pricing?

Apps are billed based on the number of users in your Atlassian product. For Jira 7.0 or later, the app tier should match the maximum tier of the licensed Jira products on your instance. For example, if you're running Jira Software (500 users) and Jira Service Desk (25 agents) on the same instance, you should purchase the 500-user tier for apps. For versions of Jira prior to 7.0, the app tier should match the licensed user tier for Jira. Even if fewer users want to use the app than your Jira license, the two licenses should match exactly. Note: While this app has features specific to Jira Service Desk, the app is technically available across the whole Jira instance. Therefore the above guidelines for the license tier still apply.

Can I install this app in a Data Center product?

Yes, this app has a Data Center approved version. If you're using a Data Center product, you should install the Data Center version of the app.

Learn more about Data Center approved apps

What type of license do I need if I'm using this app in a Data Center product?

Because this app has a Data Center approved version, you should purchase a Data Center license for the app.

If you already own a server license for this app, you can continue using the server license in your Data Center product for a limited period of time.

Learn more about Data Center licensing

Do you offer academic, community, or open-source licenses for server apps?

For server apps, academic licenses are available at a 50% discount if you have an academic license for your Atlassian product.

Community and open-source licenses are available for server apps. Learn more about community and open source licenses.

Can I extend my free trial?

For server apps, you can extend your app trial up to 5 times - in other words, for up to six months. Extend your trial by generating a new evaluation license key from Atlassian Marketplace. Click Try it free and you'll be directed to generate a new license. Paste this license key into the app listing in UPM from your Atlassian product, and you're all set.

How can I buy apps for my legacy Jira Server or Confluence Server license?

If you own a legacy Jira Server Unlimited (100+ users) or Confluence Server Unlimited (2000+ users) license purchased in 2012 or earlier, legacy app pricing is no longer available. You have two options for app purchasing:

Purchase the app at the non-legacy Unlimited (10000+ users) tier.
Renew your Jira or Confluence license at a non-legacy tier, then purchase the app at the same tier.

Pricing FAQ

How does Data Center app pricing work?

Data Center apps are sold as an annual subscription. You are eligible for support and version updates as long as your subscription is active.

How do I determine my Data Center pricing?

Versions

Version 2.5.7 • Jira Server 7.6.0 - 8.6.1 • Released 2020-01-20

Summary

Hotfix release

Details

This release is meant to mitigate three known issues in Version & Component Sync for Jira:

A bug in the Jira VersionManager class (confirmed by Atlassian Support) which might cause duplicate versions to be created within a project. An additional check has been introduced to prevent this event from occurring during synchronisation, while awaiting a permanent fix from Atlassian.
In an effort to reduce the possibility of data loss, Version & Component Sync will now no longer delete versions from linked projects which have issues attached to them. A synchronisation conflict will be created instead, which will allow for manual intervention (re-assigning the fix/affected version).
The Jira VersionManager implementation to retrieve versions by name is very inefficient. Version & Component Sync has been optimised for performance by using other means (incl. caching) to avoid costly database calls.

All customers are advised to upgrade to the latest version of Version & Component Sync.
