Hi I am just completing the last steps in the ReleaseTODO as first-time RM for the 7.7.2 bugfix release.
In the "Update JIRA" section it says: > • Do another JIRA search to find all issues with Unresolved Resolution and > fixVersion of the release you just made. Note that Jira can only bulk-change > fixVersion if you search only one project at a time. This URL may work - but > edit the fixVersion part, and change LUCENE to SOLR to get to Solr's issues > separately - > https://issues.apache.org/jira/issues/?jql=project+=+LUCENE+AND+resolution=Unresolved+AND+fixVersion=6.0.1, > and do a bulk change to the fixVersion to be both the master version and the > next version on the branch you just released from. Uncheck the box that says > "send an email for these changes". It is the part "bulk change to the fixVersion to be both the master version and the next version on the branch you just released from" that I wonder. JIRA now has a dropdown where you can either - Add to existing - Clear field - Replace all with - Find and remove these I guess this option is new to a recent JIRA release and that you earlier could only replace all fixVersions. But if you do that, you risk removing some fix versions that are NOT next or master, so this operation is destructive. Also the TODO is not clear what to do here for bugfix releases. For the 7.7.2 release it would be wrong to REPLACE the field with 7.7.3, master(9.0), what if some issues also had 8.1.2 and 8.2 in them? My proposal is to instead select "Find and remove these" and the released version, and thus remove just that one version from the Unresolved JIRA issue.
