Releases, also known as milestones, are a type of item that represent a significant date in the project, such as releasing a product. You can tag tasks, bugs, sprints, as well as product backlog items to the release.
To tag an item to a release, you can use one of the following methods:
- Double-click a cell in the Release tag column in the timeline view.
- Use the Release tag field in the Item details. For more information, see Viewing and editing item details.
This opens a list of available releases. You can select one or more releases to which you want to tag the selected item, then click OK to save.
However, setting a release tag for individual child items will overrule the parent item's tag. A release tag set in this manner cannot be overridden by changing the tagging of the parent item or sprint.
Tags applied in the Schedule view will also always override tags inherited in the Product backlog.
When more than one item has been tagged to a release, that release is given a status. This is derived from the items that is tagged towards it. When all items in a release are done, the status column for the release shows "Completed" and a green tick appears in the timeline.
If one of the tagged items is at risk of delaying the release, a warning flag will be displayed to indicate this. This will also occur if you tag an item with a due date scheduled after the release.
