Right, it looks at versions to try to find the latest version number.
If you don’t want to compute the value dynamically, The simplest way to set a
property is using -Dgrandparent.version=1.2.3 on the command-line (or in the
project's .mvn/maven.config file). Another way that you might solve the
problem is simply by chaining properties. In any one of the parent hierarchy
POMs, set <grandparent.version>...</grandparent.version> and then in the module
POM, just say <version>${grandparent.version}</version>. For example, if you
put this in the parent POM, just set
<grandparent.version>${project.parent.version}</grandparent.version>.

Unfortunately, the important word is "seems". versions:update-property does
some complicated stuff, I have not yet found a way to simply use it to set
property X to value Y. It does some strange range stuff, etc.
