Alternative for ScriptRunner JQL functions

[Costel Ciocirlan]

Hello everyone,

I am reaching out hoping that I might receive some advice from some of you. We will soon migrate to Jira Cloud from DC, where we currently have ScriptRunner installed.
The plugin was not used to so much in terms of scripting, behaviors etc. - what has and is still being used are the JQL functions that ScriptRunner offers.

Because we are not using ScriptRunner to it's full capacity we don't see a need to keep it currently.
The question that I have is: what alternative would you recommend to replace the JQL functions from ScriptRunner in the current DC environment and going forward with Cloud ?

I have found some other alternatives in the marketplace that I would want to test, but I just want to give it a shot here as well and see what other people from the community would advise based on your experience! 

Thanks in advance!
Costel

Hi @Costel Ciocirlan 

You can get the Enhanced Search feature of ScriptRunner independently in Jira Cloud. 

We can work with you to migrate your current filters where possible. 

Please take a look at the feature parity between DC and Cloud in our documentation here. This shows you what functions are available in cloud and any differences in how they work. 

Best regards

Romy

Hi Romy,

I did see the Enhanced Search (JQL & Subqueries) plugin in the Marketplace and I am actually testing it out in my personal Cloud environement.
I will for sure reach out to Adaptavist support if we decide to go ahead with this plugin.

Thank you!

Hi @Costel Ciocirlan – Amelie from Appfire here.

It really depends on what you're trying to do with those JQL functions and how customized your current Scriptrunner functions are.

One option you could check out is Appfire's JQL Search Extensions, designed specifically for handling JQL functions. You can use it, for example, to find issues based on user action, search for issues with Regex fields, find blocked issues or unfinished subtasks, and more.

Now even though the app has 50+ search extensions, it won't have the granularity you have with scripted functions. I suggest you have a look through the documentation and see if it makes sense for your use case.

Let me know if you have any questions!

Hello @Amelie Winkler _Appfire_ 

Thanks for the reply!

Indeed JQL Search Extensions is a plugin that I checked already and is on my list.
These is not a lot of customization, I will take your advice in consideration.

Thanks again for the reply!
