Problem Definition

Using the Project >> Releases page, even if the project/system admin changes the tabs the URL stays the same i.e., http(s)://<JIRA-URL>/projects/<PROJ>/versions/<VERSION_ID>

So if the user clicks on any other tabs viz., "Issues in version"/"Issues done" etc. and goes to check an issue in the same tab and then navigates back to the previous page it lands in the http(s)://<JIRA-URL>/projects/<PROJ>/versions/<VERSION_ID> and goes back to the "Warnings" tab.

Suggested Solution

• Add an additional parameter in the URL suffixed as ?tab=doneIssues or ?tab=inProgressIssues etc. for each tab so that the browser can handle the referer URL while navigating back to the http(s)://<JIRA-URL>/projects/<PROJ>/versions/<VERSION_ID> page
  or
• Add this to the user session properties viz., like we maintain if the user chose List View or Details View in their last issue search

Workaround

Open the issues in a new tab instead of the same tab as the Release Report.
