Release date: 26 Oct 2024

Our team is thrilled to announce the 3.2.0 release of Power Scripts for Jira Cloud. This is a major release, which, besides In addition to runtime upgrades, this major release brings the first addon add-on functionality from DC into the Data Center to the Cloud: SIL Excel Connector functions are now here, which means that you may fill up Excel files automatically. There are more to come, so stay tuned! . You can now automatically populate and update Excel files directly from Jira.

New features

• Traces of the executions - you can now see exactly what calls we perform to Jira (and not only!), and what is the result of those calls.Because management everywhere still relies on Excel, SIL Excel Connector has been incorporated into our Cloud solution:

  • Monitor all Jira API calls and view their results.

  • Gain complete visibility into your script execution flow.

  • For details, check the Traces topic.

• SIL Excel Connector:

  • Allows you to create and update Microsoft Excel files.

• Custom Field Management:

  • Added routines to get information about the contexts of a custom field.

• Advanced Security : We added a way to expire the API token / Organization API KeyFeatures:

  • You can now set expiration dates for API tokens and Organization API Keys and use them for temporary administrative scripted maintenance. After the specified time,

  those tokens will be deleted so you may actually use them do do temporary administrative scripted maintenanceSecurity: added

  • the tokens are automatically removed.

  • Added hmacSHA1 and hmacSHA256 routines

  , in case you need them

  • to use for AMZ tokens or

  something else

  • other secure integrations.

Enhancements

• Consistent Time Zone Handling

  • The time zone is now

  took in consideration in every date/datetime used in SIL, as set in General → Time menu. This was a huge problem before, since some date times were translated and others did not. Now every SIL will obey the time-zone set there

  • considered across all datetime operations used in SIL.

  • Once you configure the time zone from the General > Time menu, all SIL scripts will use it consistently.

  • This enhancement eliminates the previous inconsistencies in datetime fields.

Bug fixes

The following bugs are fixed in this release:

• InlineCards were omitted when the paragraph customfield was retrieved

• Our Fixed InlineCards display in paragraph custom fields.

• toJson() did not treat primitive int array values correctly. Resolved JSON serialization issues with integer arrays.

• Eliminated duplicate persistent variables.

• Power Scripts admin pages sometimes needed a refresh , if left open. We postponed the load of page until Jira's AP function is loaded, and we’re hoping this fix will resolve this annoyance

• toJson() was not treating correctly primitive int array values. This was fixed, int arrays are now correctly serialized

• Duplicated persistent vars are now avoidedTo improve admin page loading and prevent refresh requirements, the loading of the page is now postponed until Jira’s AP function is loaded.
