Project Activation

Affected function

Behavior changed?

Notes

  • Project Activation

Project activation will be immediate since revision history generation is removed.

No

R4J v4.5 project deactivation will be as it was before upgrade. Deactivating a project does not delete revision history data.

Notes

  • Tree > Add existing issue

  • Tree > Create issue

  • Tree/Jira > Modify Issue

  • Tree > Reuse

  • Tree > ReqIF import

  • Scheduled adding of issues

  • R4J Excel Plugin > Import of issues

Yes

After a Jira Administrator executes the “Revisions Cleanup” process, revisions will only be tracked for issues that have been added to the tree. Once an issue has been added to the tree, its revision will be generated and tracked further on.

  • Tree > Issue Links

Yes

Issue links before v4.5 were never tracked in R4J revision history. For revisions v4.5 onwards, issue link changes (linking/unlinking) will show in the revisions.
Tip: If unwanted, please include Linked Issues in the field blacklist.

  • Tree > Issues from non-activated projects

Yes

Issues from non-activated projects before v4.5 were never generated with revision data which may cause missing items in baselining.

For revisions v4.5 onwards, any issue added to any requirements project tree regardless if it is activated or not will be generated with revisions to maintain consistency in data especially when baselining.

Notes

  • Revision section > Changesets

Yes

R4J v4.5 retains old revision data from lower versions while incorporating Jira history into new revision data. Old and new revisions may differ slightly in how revisions are created. Most noticeable is generation of revisions for Linked Issues which was not supported in lower versions.

Blacklisted fields will not be displayed in the Detail View and will not trigger a revision.

  • Revision Section > Suspect marks

Yes

R4J v4.5 tracks suspects through the R4J Suspect custom field which provides details on the changed issue and linked issue(s) affected. This information will show in the revision history.

Tip: If unwanted, please include R4J Suspect in the field blacklist.

  • Revision View/Compare

Yes

Revisions can still be compared between issues. For issues that do not have R4J revisions (never added to any R4J tree), only current field values can be compared. Additionally, because of the differences in how values are stored in R4J history vs the Jira history, formatting and display for some custom fields may differ between old R4J revision data and Jira value which affects revision comparison between old and new revisions.
