We are planning to upgrade Jira and also the Automation for Jira Plugin. How to do it correctly?

Sebastian Richards Romero

We are currently using the 8.5.1v for Jira Server, and planning on upgrading to 8.20.11.

On the other hand, for what i've checked on the version history and the article "Upgrading to Automation for Jira 7.3 or later", we must upgrade from 7.1.16 to something between 7.3.5  and 7.42.

The article says that if you press the upgrade button it will take you to the latest Automation for Jira version, but our new jira instance is not compatible to 8.0.3.

What do you recommend to do it if this step is noti viable?

I'll be waiting for your answer and feedback.

Thank you!

Hello @Sebastian Richards Romero ,

Welcome to the Atlassian Community!!

I would suggest you upgrade the Jira from 8.5.1 to 8.20.11 version before that please follow this document and complete all the pre-check before upgrading.

• Preparing for the upgrade
• Upgrading Jira Server

Once Jira Upgrade is done, Please update the Plugins.

 

Note: It is always recommended to perform upgrade on first non-production environment.
