Are you currently working with with our Data Center app? Due to the Jira Cloud architecture, there are some unique features and technical limitations in JWT for Jira Cloud as opposed to the DC version.
Migrating from Data Center
If you are currently on Data Center, our Automated migration path can streamline your migration process. Using the Jira Cloud Migration Assistant (JCMA), you can efficiently transfer your data and configurations to the cloud with minimal effort.
If you need help, get in touch with our support team. We offer free assessment calls and our JWT Advanced Edition includes migration assistance.
Condition and Validators
-
All conditions and validators use Jira expressions instead of the JWT expressions, which can be used in the General mode and the Logical mode.
Post functions
-
Post functions are executed asynchronously as a background job. This means that the status is already set to the target status, even if the post functions of the transition have not yet been fully executed.
-
The Jira Cloud API does not provide any way to return a message in case of errors being thrown during the execution
-
The order in which post functions from 3rd party apps are executed is not guaranteed. Post functions will very likely be executed in a different order than they have been set up in the workflow configuration. (Attention: Please keep that in mind when configuring post functions relying on results of a different post function). You can overcome this by using our Execute sequence of actionspost function
-
If a post function cannot be executed due to misconfiguration or other problems, the transition and all other configured post functions will still be executed.
Automation rules
-
The JWT automation rules available in Data Center are not available in JWT for Jira Cloud.
Calculated custom fields
-
The JWT calculated fields available in Data Center are not available in JWT for Jira Cloud.
-
However, Advanced Formula Fields, offer an enhanced and more powerful engine to display the data in custom fields surfacing the data you need.
Expression parser functions
-
The constantly growing number of expression parser functions will successively be added to JWT for Jira Cloud - see the full list of available functions here.
Company-managed spaces only!
Due to the nature of team-managed projects all workflow related enhancements provided by JWT for Jira Cloud are only available for workflows being managed in company-managed spaces (projects).
