Release Attributes

From RMsis 1.4.0 onwards, the RMsis Releases are closely associated with JIRA versions. In general the following rules apply

• Some of the Release Attributes are computed automatically.
• Rest of the RMsis Release attributes can be modified independently only before it's Sync with JIRA.
• Once it is Sync with JIRA, the values of common attributed are acquired from the corresponding JIRA versions.

A release has the following attributes:

• Release Name: This field specifies name of the release.
