Bug issue type: adding a field "Found in Version" with the actual version (Release) of project
Asked by Corinne Guibert:

Hello

I'm currently configuring a Bug issue type.

I need to do a simple thing: add a field "Found in version" in which the user will select in which version of the software the Bug has been found.

The list of value of this field must be the list of existing Version (Release) of the software.

I could do it with a customised Drop down field and by entering the list of existing version. But in a few months, new version will be created and they would have to be added.

Is there a defautl Jira field for "Found in Version" ? (like there is a Fix in Version).

Is it possible to copy the behavior of the Fix in version field ?

I can't imagine that Jira wouldn't provide something by default to do that as it's a basis to specify in which version of a software a bug has been found. So maybe I missed something ?

Thanks for any help you can provide

The field I think you are looking for is the Affects Version field.

```
Affects version is the version in which a bug or problem was found. Although it can be useful for tracking problems, it isn't used very often in Jira.
```

[https://www.atlassian.com/agile/tutorials/versions#:\~:text=Affects%20version%20is%20the%20version,feature%20or%20bugfix%20to%20customers](https://www.atlassian.com/agile/tutorials/versions#:~:text=Affects%20version%20is%20the%20version,feature%20or%20bugfix%20to%20customers)

If you need a single select version field you could create a custom field of type Version Picker (single version). They will fetch project version as options.

I don't have the Affect Version field:

![Capture d??cran 2024-08-23 191514.png](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/343531i728F86D5C80611F3/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "Capture d??cran 2024-08-23 191514.png")

Any idea why I don't see it ?

The Fix in version field is working fine and allows me to display all my version, so I don't understand why I don't have the Affect one


author: Corinne Guibert
body: OK, the Affect version is a no-show in Team-managed project.

See this: [\[JSWCLOUD-18747\] Affects Version/s in team-managed projects - Create and track feature requests for Atlassian products.](https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/JSWCLOUD-18747)


author: Florian Bonniec
body: I'm not really familiar with Team managed projects as it's too limited, so I no longer use them.

Do you have the option to create a custom field of type Version picker in this type of project ?

Regards

"Do you have the option to create a custom field of type Version picker in this type of project ?"

=\> I don't think so. I didn't find anything about that but I'm not expert. That's why I asked the community: maybe someone had an idea


author: Florian Bonniec
body: Based on the documentation, there is no way to create such fields.

<https://support.atlassian.com/jira-software-cloud/docs/available-custom-fields-for-team-managed-projects/>

Unfortunately, I think you reach the limitation of using such project.

Unfortunately, company-managed projects have also limitation, so each time I need a new project, I need to find the balance of what is less painful not to have
