ScriptRunner Migration to Cloud

This section provides you with the steps required to move from ScriptRunner for Jira Server/Data Center to Cloud. It also offers guidance on the differences between the two versions of ScriptRunner and provides some details on rewriting scripts and using alternatives.

Feature Differences

ScriptRunner for Jira Cloud does not have the same feature set as the Server/Data Center version. You can learn about the parity for each individual ScriptRunner for Server/Data Center feature in our Feature Parity table. We also provide details on workaround script/function alternatives where there is currently no parity with Cloud.

REST APIs

Scripts in Jira Cloud do not execute within the same process as Jira Server and so must interact with Jira using the REST APIs rather than the JAVA APIs.
