Step-by-step updating issues from one baseline to another

Scenario:

• You have created a baseline 1 from a set of requirements.

• Then, you used our Jira bulk creation to create Jira work items, which are linked to the requirements in baseline 1.

• Now, you have created a baseline 2 and want to link those existing Jira work items to the new baseline — without creating new Jira items.

Please note that for this feature to work, the Jira links need to be made to the baselined requirement, not the current.

1) Selecting your Requirements

1. In Requirements sidebar

2. Click into the search page

3. Search for the requirements you want to update links from

4. Click search

5. Select 1, few or all and click

6. Actions

7. Click on the new menu Update Jira links

ℹ️ This feature is compatible with "Show Baselines", but not with "Cross-space".

Open

2) Update Jira Links

The feature allows you to batch-update Jira links from selected requirements

1. We automatically add Jira is not null to the query, since only requirements already linked to Jira are relevant

2. Enter the new baseline number (e.g., 2)

3. Click Update Jira links button

PS: If you select more than 10 requirements, only 10 will be shown, but all selected will be updated

Open

 

3) Verify the update

🟩 Done

Open

A DONE status means data was sent to Jira — but Jira processing could still fail afterward.

To look for details, click See queue to get redirected in the other queue messages and see how it goes

🟥 Fail

Open

We provide the reason of the failure

Double-check that the target requirements exist, or adjust your input in the previous screen.

⚠️ Limitations

• The space key cannot be empty,

• The baseline must be a valid number (the baseline ID, not the name) or empty (current requirements)

• If a requirement doesn’t exist in the target location, a warning will be shown, but others will be updated,

• If none of the target requirements exist, the process will fail,

🚀 Going Further

• You can update Jira links across spaces, as done in Scenario 1 but changing the Space key instead (e.g., from SPACE1 to SPACE2)

  • Example: When using Scroll versions, you can update Jira links in the newly created space

• It’s also possible to update space key and baseline simultaneously

⛔️ Advanced Option (Admins Only)

If you need to change the Confluence applink, add this to the URL:

⚠️ No validation is performed on the target requirement when changing the applink — use at your own risk.
