Is it possible to request that the old workflow editor is not phased out in June 2026?

[Rose Harris]

Not sure how many other Atlassian community members actively work on creating/editing workflows, but I am struggling with the new workflow editor and worry that when they phase out the old workflow editor in June 2026, I will lose access to the features that I currently utilize often but can only find by reverting to the old workflow editor. 

I know the new workflow editor allows you to create rules on a transition (restrictions, input requests, validating details, or performing actions), but I have not been able to figure out how to create custom Post Functions, or even where to find Post Functions with the new editor. It hasn't been too much of an issue because I found the workaround of using the old workflow editor, but once that is phased out, I don't know what my options will be. 

Has anyone else run into this issue? Am I missing the obvious way to navigate to Post Functions in the new editor? Please help!

I was under the impression that the actions are post-functions. These are different than automation actions. The actions in the new workflow editor are just like the post-functions in the old one. Atlassian has been waiting to deprecate the old editor until the new one could do everything the old one could. Were the custom actions you were creating via a plugin?

Sadly no. This is something they will push, whether we like it or not.

I don't remember if you can create custom post functions. I'll say you can't, but possible custom post functions come from a 3rd party app?

The new editor is just a new look, and everything should be there.

Can you send us a screenshot of how the old editor looks on your side and one from the new editor?

and what you can't find (besides the custom post function)
