Thanks Matt,

Do you recommend any plugin to overcome this challenge or migrating the scripts for java to any other.

The JavaScript elements used by JIRA 7 and JIRA 4 are quite different. You might be able to rewrite the JS to work with JIRA 7 but I don't recommend it, since it's hard to maintain during upgrades
