**Please read this carefully to avoid data loss**

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.

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

Was this review helpful?Yes No

CollabSoft

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.

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.

Thanks Sigrid, I'm happy to hear the app is proven to be useful for your company!

If you are using multiple Jira projects for your one real-world project, this app is a must-have and automates the synchronization. Thank you @CollabSoft!

Not very Intuitive at the begining. It would be easier to have in the setting from project and to projects fields.

We have been using this plugin with our JIRA instance for a number of years. Recently a combination of JIRA version upgrade and plugin upgrade resulted in some issues. I wrote a ticket and got an immediate response from the Collabsoft team. The issue turned out to be somewhat complex, and required a couple of online sessions to address. The Collabsoft Support and Technical teams were very helpful, and even setup working sessions across multiple world wide timezones to get the issue resolved. Further, in the process we found a couple of additional bugs in their plugin which they were able to fix and roll out in a new version in just a couple of weeks. All in all a good experience; reading other reviews seems they have had some issues in the past but these seem to have been addressed. I can recommend both the plugin and their support for it.

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?

This app does not have a Data Center approved version. Only apps meeting a set of performance requirements for large, clustered environments are approved for Data Center.

However, while server apps are built for single-server deployments, many customers successfully install them in Data Center products. If you're using a Data Center product, Atlassian recommends you contact the vendor to determine compatibility at scale.

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 does not have a Data Center approved version, you should purchase a Server license if you decide to install this app in a Data Center product.

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.
