What is this new edit experience for workflows??

Question

I just spend 30 awful minutes trying to update a workflow!

Story time: I have a pretty little script in a post function of instance A. I wanted to copy/ paste this in a relative new instance (B). So naturally I went to instance B workflow editor, and there’s a button “Change editor”. Ok, seems optional, right? I choose to stay in old editor.

To recreate my post function of instance A I needed to download Scriptrunner. But when I went to my workflow in old editor, it simple does not show any Scriptrunner functionality. So, I switched to new editor, and there it is.

Though to myself “ok, maybe old editor is just for viewing what is already in the workflow”. So I configured my post function in new editor, published my workflow and did some testing on an issue. But when I got back to workflow — IT WAS IN OLD EDITOR WITH NO POST FUNCTION. It’s like I never published. Switched to new editor, the post function STILL THERE.

What chapter of Dante’s Inferno is this???

Odd! I checked internally about ScriptRunner support and our understanding is that currently the new workflow editor doesn't support any other 3rd party apps. Still a work in progress

For now, I'd avoid the new workflow editor if you want to do anything more than basic workflow changes

Fo me it was the other way around. I added a Scriptrunner post function using the new editor (as rules) and published. But when I switched to old editor it was gone. 🫠 And then I switched back to new editor and it was there.
