Hi Jamon, 

So it seems that it doesn't have a means for specifying the affects versions. I 
did some googling and found that this is a feature that a bunch of people seem 
to want. Here's a link to a feature request filed for it.

http://www.redmine.org/issues/1675

Hopefully this will be implemented soon, although the request was made over 2 
years ago.

Thanks
Justin
