ScriptRunner adds scripting and automation options to Jira. This page explains where to open it and where its features appear in Jira.

Open ScriptRunner

  1. In Jira, select the Administration cog in the top-right corner.
  2. Select Marketplace apps.
  3. In the left-hand sidebar, under Apps, select ScriptRunner.
    Tip:Open ScriptRunner from the command palette

    You can also open ScriptRunner from the Jira command palette:

    • For Mac users press Command + K
    • For Windows users press Ctrl + K

    Then search for ScriptRunner and select it.

Features in the ScriptRunner menu

From ScriptRunner, you can open and manage:

  • Script console
  • Saved console scripts
  • Event listeners
  • Scripted fields
  • Work item pickers
  • Workflow actions
  • Workflow validators
  • Scheduled jobs
  • Field behaviours
  • HTTP endpoints
  • Automation integrations

ScriptRunner features in Jira screens

The following ScriptRunner features are configured from standard Jira screens rather than only from the ScriptRunner menu:

  • In the Workflow editor, you attach ScriptRunner workflow rules and add expression-based validators or restrictions.
  • In Global automation, you use the Run a script (ScriptRunner) action in automation rules.
  • For Scripted fields, you can create them directly in ScriptRunner, or create them in Jira like any other custom field and then configure the script in ScriptRunner.
