June 2023
Our Product team is happy to release the following product improvements this month. JSU for Jira Cloud is available from the Atlassian Marketplace.
What’s new
Additional support for copying source fields
Support for the following special source fields has been added to JSU Cloud:
*** current user ***
*** previous user ***
*** current datetime ***
These fields have been added to facilitate migrations from JSU Server/Data Center to JSU Cloud. You can select special copy sources when defining a field value to copy when configuring a Create a Linked Issue, Linked Transition, and Copy Value From Other Field post functions. For example, you can copy the value of the Current User field to the Reporter field in the new issue.
Learn more about special sources for copying field values in the JSU Cloud documentation.
Rule and project count added to the My Workflows page
My Workflows now displays the total number of JSU rules and associated projects. An Info tooltip also tells you if you have automation rules configured with native Jira automation or third-party apps.
Improved support for migrating JSU Server/Data Center data with Jira Cloud Migration Assistant (JCMA)
You can now migrate a Create a Linked Issue post function that has been configured with a custom field to enable the linked issue creation without additional post-migration tasks.
In JSU Server/Data Center the Create a Linked Issue post function includes an option for a custom field to require a value to allow the creation of a new issue. This acts as a condition for the post function. Previously, following a migration of this configuration you would need to reconfigure the post function with a JSU Cloud precondtion.
Learn more about migrating your JSU rules in our guide to JCMA.
Bug Fixes and improvements
Improvements
Reduced the threshold for infinite loop detection:
The time threshold for determining when an infinite loop is identified for a JSU rule has been reduced from 5 minutes to 2 minutes for the Create a Linked Issue post function. It remains 1 minute for the Linked Transition and Followup Transition post functions. See https://appfire.atlassian.net/l/cp/sjAqGZp6 to learn more.
Bug fixes
Create a Linked Issue post function:
Fixed an issue where the Assignee field was not updated on the destination issue when using a user picker field value for the Copy to New or Copy Within Origin sub-functions.
