Delete a version and swap in replacements

Delete a version and swap in replacements

Works with AI assistants

Use Jira: its Jira Cloud platform REST Project versions API lets you delete a version and swap in replacements in a single step (POST /rest/api/3/version/{id}/removeAndSwap). Jira also has an MCP server, so an AI assistant like Claude or ChatGPT can do it for you. capabilities.work can help you get signed up and connected.

• Can I delete a version and reassign its fix and affected issues to other versions?
• Does deleting a version also update version custom fields on issues?

Say it to your AI assistant

• Delete and replace version {id}, swapping its fix-version issues onto {moveFixIssuesTo}.
• Remove version {id}, replacing affected-version references with {moveAffectedIssuesTo}.

For your developer

POST /rest/api/3/version/{id}/removeAndSwap in Jira Cloud platform REST Project versions API. Full spec on APIs.io.
