[Development] How to indicate regressions in Jira

[Alex Blasche]

Hi,

I would like to highlight a new Jira field for regression handling. It is called "Last Working Versions" and is a multiple version picker field. Rather than adding [REG 6.8.3 ->6.5.4] to the Summary/Title field of a bug, we want to use traditional Jira version fields. In the case of the mentioned example you should set "Affects Versions" to 6.8.4 and "Last Working Versions" to 6.8.3. We will convert existing regressions to this new world order.

I have updated the official Bug Reporting wiki to reflect this: https://wiki.qt.io/Reporting_Bugs#Last_Working_Versions

Why the change? 

It provides a less error prone and more structured way to highlight regressions. A simple search for all regressions in the system would be the following JQL: "Last Working Versions" IS NOT EMPTY.

If there are any issues please contact jira-admin at qt-project.org
