cloud scripting language that can control workflow transition condition and validator

[Romy T.]

is there any add-ons can satisfy this requirement?

Hi @Romy T.,

I am not sure I understand your requirement. Maybe you want to write a couple more sentences.

Just based on your buzzwords - Scriptrunner could be an Option for you ... https://marketplace.atlassian.com/plugins/com.onresolve.jira.groovy.groovyrunner/cloud/overview

@Christian Reichert (resolution)thanks! reviewed scriptrunner and powerscripts, both (as of this written) it does not have any capability to control or configure conditions and validators in scripting level.

Cloud's Connect framework does not yet allow for apps to handle conditions and validators

@Romy T.,

@Nic Brough -Adaptavist- is correct. We worked around this (in our case with the Automation for Jira App) by using automation. Depending on what you need exactly you can work with intermediate status's and then move forward (or bounce back) via Automation as in the Automation you can use JQL's and Field contents to make decisions.

The same would be true for script runner.

If you have an Issue that usually would go from

"In Development" -> "In QA" with some condition/validator in between ...

You can under some circumstances also reflect this:

"In Development" -> "Development finished" -> "In QA"

Then when a User puts it into "Development finished" you run the automation which checks everything you want to check and then either bounces it back to "in Development" or auto transitions it to "In QA".

In many circumstances you can work around those limitations. Sometimes easily and nice, at other times a little bit tricky.

Cheers,
Christian

@Christian Reichert (resolution) and @Nic Brough -Adaptavist- thanks! yes, it make me rethink shall whether, we will cancel the cloud plan and use the server version instead due to this limitation.
