JSU 2.24.0 Release Notes

22nd September 2020

Our Product team is happy to announce the release of JSU 2.24.0, which is now available on the Marketplace.

New Features

• Added a "Status Changed" workflow condition and precondition. These are useful in "From Any Status" workflow transitions, determining if a transition leads to another status or if the status remains unchanged.

Improvements

• "Update Any Issue Field" Estimate Fields (Original Estimate, Remaining Estimate, Timespent) now accept literal duration format (i.e. "1w 2d 3h"). For backward compatibility, a numeric input value will be interpreted as a unit of seconds.
• If Timespent is specified as a target field, work logs are added or removed to keep "Time Tracking" consistent with work logs.
• The "JSU Bulk Copy" operation no longer attempts to copy Original Estimate, Remaining Estimate, and Timespent fields to the target issue/s.
• If an error occurs while copying a custom field during a "JSU Bulk Copy" operation, the custom field which could not be copied is logged and the "JSU Bulk Copy" operation will continue copying issues.
• When validating multiline text fields with regular expressions, the string is now split on the newline character before each line is tested against the expression.
• Added a placeholder to all JQL expression texts to indicate that "key = '{issue.key}'" must be explicitly set to restrict results to only match the current issue.

Bugfixes

• In some Jira/Service Desk version constellations, an error occurred while copying the Service Desk "Request Type" field in a "Create Linked Issue" post-function. The executing user context will still need project browse permissions to be able to successfully read the project request types (i.e. if the post-function is executed as an anonymous user, that user may not be able to resolve the list of available Request Types)
• In some Jira/Service Desk version constellations, an error occurred while assigning the "Organization" field in an Update Any Issue" post-function on a "Create" transition when executed as an anonymous user. The executing user context will still need to be a member of the Organization or project administrator in order to be able to successfully read/write the "Organization" field.
• The "watchers" system field was not copied in a "Create Linked Issue" post-function.
