JMCF Cloud vs. JMCF Data Center

JMCF for Jira Cloud shares many features with the original JMCF for Jira Server/Data Center; however, JMCF for Jira Cloud does not yet have full parity with the features available on Data Center. The lists below detail the differences between the two platforms.

Custom Fields

Jira Search Templates

JMCF for Jira Data Center includes custom search templates for its fields. JMCF for Jira Cloud does not currently include its own custom search templates, but it is possible to use the Forge custom field searcher (Figure 2, right). Future updates will include expanded options as the Jira Forge team releases additional functionality.

JMCF for Jira Cloud uses the Jira native data types, so fields are generally searchable using basic search. However, JMCF Cloud is not as flexible in terms of how to display fields or search using alternate units.

Field Formatting

Some formatting options for custom fields are available in Jira Data Center, but any formatting options that have been applied will not transfer during migrations. JMCF for Jira Cloud includes Formatters for changing the appearance of custom fields, but these options are controlled and stored differently and therefor cannot be migrated automatically.

JMCF Administration

The Administration pages for each product vary based on the capabilities of each of the platforms.
