Merged idea
This idea has been merged into another idea. To comment or vote on this idea, please visit APP-I-2131 Automatic addition of initiatives to releases based on Features being added to releases that have initiatives.

Auto-assign initiatives to releases if features linked to initiative are placed in a release Merged

If I have a bunch of features that are linked to an initiative and I put at least one of those features into a release, the initiative should automatically be associated to that release. I shouldn't have to make that link manually. Likewise, if I remove features from a release and put them into a future release, the initiatives should "unlink" from the first release automatically if there are no features from that initiative in the release. It's easy to miss linking and unlinking, and you can end up with a release that doesn't accurately show that it is delivering some of a release, or you can end up with a release that shows it includes work on an initiative when there are no related features in that release. It's too manual - easy to make mistakes or miss associations.

 

I would say this is really an "initiative" issue but there is no "initiative" category for ideas, despite the fact that "initiatives" are a significant element of product planning in Aha
