What are built-in scripts?
You can use ScriptRunner for Jira Cloud's built-in scripts as an alternative to creating your own code. ScriptRunner built-in scripts enable you to automate manual, complex, and time-consuming tasks. Aimed at users with limited Groovy knowledge, built-in scripts allow you to quickly achieve your goals without having to write Groovy code from scratch.
All built-in scripts are always visible and executable by users with Jira Administration and Jira System Administration permissions.
How to use built-in scripts
Built-in scripts have been created for some of the most commonly run tasks in ScriptRunner for Jira Cloud. We have scripts to:
- Modify the resolution field of multiple work items at once with the Bulk Fix Resolutions script.
- Copy the value of a field from one field to another in your instance with Copy Custom Field Values script.
- Select Jira work items to clone and move to another space as a set of work items in bulk with the Bulk Clone Work Items script.
