JSU Cloud's additional post-functions to JIRA makes it more powerful with its Related Issues, Perform as a different user and many other functionalities in the Post-functions. Using JSU's additional post-functions, you can automate your workflows without any coding.

Background

Years ago beecom donated some of JSU's modules to Jira Cloud. Atlassian integrated most of these JSU Workflow Condition/Validator/Post-Functions (based on JSU Server 1.4) into their native Jira Cloud Environment which were still a very basic modules. Since then JSU Server has added many other functionalities to make it more powerful. When JSU on Cloud was released, it also had additional advanced form of the Post-functions as of JSU Server. If you perform a migration from Jira Cloud to Jira Server, those default/JSU Workflow Condition/Validator/Post-Functions do not exist in the default Jira Server Version but can be simply replaced with the JSU App.

Workflow Preconditions(JSU)

Preconditions in JSU Cloud are built-in as a part of the post-function. You can add as many preconditions inside a post-function. But in JSU Server preconditions are implemented as a separate post-function which acts as preconditions. All the preconditions from JSU Cloud are available in JSU Server as well, but it needs different configuration.

All other preconditions follow the similar pattern as above. As preconditions in JSU Cloud are built-in, you have reconfigure all the preconditions manually in JSU Server.
