IF you know it, the 'Fix Version' should be set to the branches the bug impacts. For example, a bug that is in 3.11.0 that impacts trunk but doesn't exist in 3.0.15, you'd set 3.11.x and 4.x, that way whoever goes to merge/commit it for you knows which branches it impacts. > Does the patch need to be synced up with the latest repo or I can just > choose which version I worked with (which may not necessarily be the latest > and hence one would be need to fetch that specific repo version in order to > compile source with the patch)? > Any patches are better than no patches, but obviously patches for all impacted branches are better than a patch just for the branch you use. > > Also, there is no option to upload the patch file on this screen.
