is there a plug in to jira for grouping projects, or making an issue depend on all issues in a version of another project?

Question

We have a software suite composed of multiple products in various configurations. Each product is a project in Jira, and there's an "overall" project for those things that are global. I'd like to make versions in the overall project dependent on all the tickets in a designated release of each sub-project.

Looking at this, it appears Jira doesn't support this out of the box yet. I found links, which seems promising, but managing all those links manually seems like a terrible idea. Are there any plug-ins or other methods that would help with this sort of thing?

Answer 1

Let's see if I understood:

PRODUCTA Version A1 Version A2

PRODUCTB Version B2 Version B3

OVERALL has a Version X that depends on PRODUCTA, Version A1 and PRODUCTB, Version B3

You want Version X to pick up the issues in PRODUCTA that have a version of A1?
