Alternative to Behaviors in Jira Cloud for JSM projects.

[Pedro Morocho]

Is there an alternative to ScriptRunner in Jira cloud for JSM type projects since Behaviors are not compatible with this type of project and there is no way to do anything about the creation screens?

Welcome to the Atlassian Community!

I am not aware that Behaviours for Jira Cloud has any competition (if we did, the SR team would be talking about it in most of my meetings).

Behaviours (and the rest of Scriprunner) is heavily limited by the Cloud framework, and it's taken a long time, and a lot of work with Atlassian, to get it to be able to work on Cloud. 

Even if there were a competitor, the best they could do is re-implement Behaviours (with a different admin interface maybe).   They would not be able to do anything that Behaviours does not yet do - they'd be limited in the same way Behaviours is by the Jira platform. 

We are still working with Atlassian to get the extension points we need to enable Behaviours to do more.  It does actually work on JSM projects, but only on the "create issue" screen, but Im pretty sure you want to use it on the "create request" screen.  That is on the to-do list.

Any news or updates on when we could expect a breakthrough with Atlassian to get Behaviors for JSM Cloud?

Hi @Pedro Morocho

What exact functionality of behaviors are you looking for?

Hi Pedro,

First, no there isn't. 

Second, what are you trying to do that you need Behaviours for?

[Pedro Morocho]

I am trying to replicate the behavior of the behaviors of a data center version for a Jira Service Management project that migrates to the cloud, but apparently in the cloud version you cannot modify the screens, as such you cannot interact with the fields (edit, delete, create).

You might be able to use forms for the create process to do some of that.
