Feature Release - JMWE for Jira Cloud 1.2.32

Our team is thrilled to announce the latest release of JMWE for Jira Cloud . This release includes two new post functions - Assign issue(s) and Set Issue Security Level, increasing parity between JMWE for Jira Data Center and JMWE for Jira Cloud. This includes enhanced ability to migrate from Data Center/Server to Cloud. Additionally, you can now copy a post function to a new or existing Shared Action!

Due to a recent bug, some Validators may behave inconsistently, especially when using the option Skip validation when cloning/creating an issue. Validators created after the release of version 1.2.32, or any Validators that are updated and saved after release, will not experience this particular issue.

If one of your Validators is not working as expected, after the update to 1.2.32 has been applied, simply open the Validator, make a small change and save it, then change it back. Any issues should be resolved. If issues persist, please contact Support and open a ticket.

 

Extensions

‘Assign issue’ post function

Similar to the Assign issue post function for JMWE for Jira Data Center, a new Cloud post function is planned for release that will allow for more general assignment of issues. This includes the previously unavailable option to migrate this post function from Jira Data Center to Jira Cloud.

‘Set issue security level’ post function

Another implementation of a JMWE for Jira Data Center post function, a new Cloud post function is being introduced that will enable you to set the security level for issues.

Actions

Copy extension to Shared Action

We’re adding a feature to all post function configuration screens that allows you to copy an entire post function to a Shared Action - new or existing - with a single click!

Note: Only post functions can be copied to Shared Actions!

Enhancements

Extensions

UI updates for several post functions

A handful of post function configuration screens are getting a full makeover! This includes the Create issue(s), Email issue, Set issue fields, and Transition issue(s) post functions!

Actions

Better search for Projects and Issue Types

The Event-based Actions rule builder has been updated with better search when selecting Projects and Issue Types. For organizations with greater than 50 Projects or Issue Types, locating and selecting these will be quicker and more clear!

Bug fixes

The following bugs are fixed in this release:

  • Execution errors do not open in new browser tab - In the Shared Action, Event-based Action, and Scheduled Action administration pages, clicking a link for an execution log does not currently open that log in a new browser window.

  • Display issue with Execution time - In the Scheduled Action administration page, the execution time does not always display correctly depending on the number of issues that were affected by the action.

  • Jira Expression editor experiences errors when adding code comments - Adding code comments in the Jira Expression editor after the executable code sometimes causes unexpected results in the extension execution.

  • Search by Action ID returns inconsistent results - Searching by Action ID in the Shared Actions, Event-based Actions, and Scheduled Actions administration pages is sometimes returns inconsistent or incomplete results.

  • ‘Return to previous status’ post function does not migrate - The ‘Return to previous status’ post function is not always migrating correctly when moving from Jira Server/Data Center to Jira Cloud.
