nx release version does not propagate changes to release groups with "projectsRelationship": "fixed"

Author: jonsnow-hub6Created Sep 17, 2026Updated Sep 17, 2026
Labelstype: bug

Current Behavior

In the following case -

group (apps) ({ "projectsRelationship": "fixed" }):

  • app-one -> depends on shared-util -> depends on math-util
  • app-two

group (pacakges) ({ "projectsRelationship": "independent" }):

  • shared-util
  • math-util

and a changelog is true.

There is a changelog file in .nx/version-plans directory, which specifies to bump math-util. When running 'nx release version --dry-run', it bumps only app-one and math-util, although app-one and app-two are in the same fixed group.

LOGS:

UPDATE packages/math-util/package.json [dry-run]

    "name": "@org/math-util",
-   "version": "0.0.1",
+   "version": "0.0.2",
    "type": "module",

UPDATE apps/app-one/package.json [dry-run]

    "name": "app-one",
-   "version": "1.0.0",
+   "version": "1.0.1",
    "type": "module",


 NX   Updating pnpm lock file


 NX   Staging changed files with git


NOTE: The "dryRun" flag means no changes were made.

Expected Behavior

I would expect that if shared-util and or math-util are mentioned in the changelog, than on nx release version, it will bump both app-one and app-two due to the fact that app-one is affected, and app-two is in the same fixed group as app-one.

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Clone repo
  2. Run pnpm i; pnpm build
  3. Run nx release version --dry-run
  4. See that only app-one and math-util are being bumped.
