Background

Info
titleIMPORTANT

The JSU Development team has been working closely with Atlassian to develop an automated solution for workflow migrations from Server to Cloud instances of Jira. While it is not yet available, Atlassian is working on implementing specific APIs compatible with the Cloud Migration Assistants as part of an Early Access Program, that is expected to be available in Spring 2021. Here, we guide you through a manual migration process that can be used until Atlassian's workflow API is live.

To migrate Jira Server to Jira Cloud, you will need to consider the following things, depending on the functionality you are using in relation to the JSU App:

Workflow Condition/Validator/Post-Function

Workflows are automatically migrated to Jira Cloud, but the Workflow Configuration will be broken. This is due to how Workflow Conditions/Validators/Post-Functions work on Jira Cloud.

(warning) All Conditions/Validators/Post-Functions will need to be recreated (warning)

...

If you use JSU Server/Data Center and are planning a migration to Jira Cloud, you can use Atlassian’s Jira Cloud Migration Assistant (JCMA) to migrate most of your JSU workflow automations.

To learn more about migrating your JSU app and its workflow rules from Jira Server to Jira Cloud, see our Jira Cloud Migration Assistant page. Before proceeding with a migration, review our feature comparison tables below to understand the subtle differences between our Cloud and Server/Data Center apps.

Feature comparison summary:

  • Post-functions: All the post-functions we offer on Jira Server, are also available on Jira Cloud.
  • Preconditions for post-functions
    All the preconditions from Server are also available on Cloud. However, preconditions are no longer separate post-functions, they are now part of the post-function. See details here: Workflow Preconditions
  • Conditions/Validators
    Due to technical limitations, JSU does not offer workflow conditions and validators in Jira Cloud. Only the User Is In Any Users Condition is offered by JSU. All other conditions and validators offered in JSU for Jira Server, are supported by Atlassian since 2016 and are integrated in into Jira Cloud. However, the "Status Changed" and "JQL" conditions are still not supported.
  • Custom Fields
    We provide 3 Custom Fields (Location, Location Select & Directions) on the JSU Server App (Custom Fields). Due to technical limitations, Custom Fields are not available on JSU for Jira Cloud.
  • Project Variables
    We offer functionality to store variable variables per project which then can be used in Workflow Post-Functions (Project Variables). This feature is a feature we currently do not offer not currently supported on Jira Cloud, but we have it in our backlog; it's in our roadmap, and we will let you know as soon as it's available.
