Release date: Oct 26, 2024

Our team is thrilled to announce the 3.2.0 release of Power Scripts for Jira Cloud. In addition to runtime upgrades, this major release brings the first add-on functionality from the Data Center to the Cloud: SIL Excel Connector functions. You can now automatically populate and update Excel files directly from Jira.

New features

• Traces of the executions:

  • 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 Features:

  • 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, the tokens are automatically removed.

  • Added hmacSHA1 and hmacSHA256 routines to use for AMZ tokens or other secure integrations.

Enhancements

• Consistent Time Zone Handling

  • The time zone is now 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:

• 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. To improve admin page loading and prevent refresh requirements, the loading of the page is now postponed until Jira’s AP function is loaded.
