We are still on Jira Server and have implemented quite some scripting (ScriptRunner). Not all functions are available in Jira Cloud. So, we are currently analyzing the migration effort.
Would it be possible to modify our workflows using Automation for Jira Server and later on use the same automation with Jira Automation for Jira Cloud? Is this actually the same product?
There's no direct translation from Server scripts to Cloud scripts, Server and Cloud are very different pieces of software and when Adaptavist wrote SR for Cloud, we had to start again from scratch because Cloud simply doesn't do thing the same way as server.
We're doing a lot of Cloud migrations at the moment, and when our clients have Scriptrunner and want to migrate what they've done, we are doing what you need to do with them - we look at each script or set of scripts that do something, and translate their process, not the script, into the Cloud, using whatever technology is most appropriate. Automation is capable of doing a lot of things that people used SR-Server to do, but obviously, there's no direct translation from raw java/groovy into a set of parameters for a gui based flow.
Automation for Jira Server and Automation for Cloud are similar, but you will find that not everything translates or migrates as you might expect.
Your best approach would be to look at what your scripts do on Server and look directly at how to do it on Cloud, not try to jump through Automation for Server.

I am looking at the same issues.
I theory you can export Jira automation from server to cloud. In practise there are features that re different. We do not use scripting in our automation so aren't facing that issue.
I have found so far that where we fire Jira events, this is not supported directly in cloud and we need a work around. I'm hoping the users original reason for us using events have changed and they can be removed.
