Identifying Deprecated Methods

Find out which Lucene-based JQL methods are deprecated in Jira 10.4 and how to identify them in your ScriptRunner scripts.

In Jira Data Center version 10.4, Atlassian introduced a new Search API, transitioning from Lucene to OpenSearch. Many methods related to JQL functions will be deprecated, and if you use them in your scripts, you'll need to update to their Search API equivalents. This page guides you to relevant sections of the Atlassian documentation to help you quickly identify the affected methods.

Note: We will continue to update and expand this information as we learn more. Please check back regularly for the most current guidance.

Tip: In the Javadoc, entries for deprecated methods or classes often include notes with links to their replacement classes in the Search API.
