A Test Case can have several versions linked to a requirement. The active version is the one selected for that requirement’s testing context. Open version management from the requirement to review its links and change the active version.
Understand the version labels
Label | Meaning |
DEFAULT | The Test Case’s default version. This is different from the active version for a particular requirement. |
ACTIVE | The version selected for the requirement shown in the dialog. |
Linked version | A version associated with this requirement, whether or not it is active. |
For example, a Jira work item can use v1 while another requirement uses v2 of the same Test Case. Changing the active version for one requirement does not change the Test Case’s default version.
View linked versions
Open the Jira work item, Test Folder, or Test Plan and find the Test Case. For an Advanced Test Plan, select the intended requirement and iteration.
Select the Test Case’s version number to open version management.
Check the requirement and Test Case shown in the dialog before changing anything.
Review the version names, linked indicators, and ACTIVE and DEFAULT labels.
Link or unlink a version
Find the required version in the dialog.
Use Link to associate it with the requirement, or Unlink to remove that association.
Reopen the dialog and verify the links.
You cannot unlink the active version. Set another version active first. Unlinking a version removes its association with this requirement; it does not delete the Test Case version.
Choose the active version
Open the version’s more options menu.
Select Set active. An archived version cannot be made active.
Check the requirement in the confirmation and select Yes. If the version is not already linked, this action links it as well.
Refresh or reopen the requirement and verify the ACTIVE label and version displayed in the case list.

Version changes require the appropriate Vansah version permission. If an option is unavailable, check your access with a Vansah administrator.
Existing Test Runs
Changing the active version selects the version for the requirement; it does not retest existing runs. Review the version recorded on each existing run. To load changes to the same script format, see Update a Test Run to the Latest Script Revision.
