Need more than a read-only Assets table in Confluence?
A Confluence service page might need a server inventory, an ownership view and a chart showing lifecycle status. Those views may all start with the same selection of objects from Jira Service Management Assets. Maintaining a separate query for each one means keeping several definitions aligned. I’m the developer of Argus -…

Open source: Assessing the real app footprint before a Jira / Confluence Cloud migration
Hey Team, One question that keeps coming up during Data Center to Cloud migrations is: Do we actually still need all of these apps? The installed apps list only gets you so far. An app can have been installed for years and barely leave any footprint in the instance. Another one might look fairly insignificant at first, but…

Before you apply for an Atlassian admin role, read the posting twice
A warning worth putting out there for anyone job-hunting in the Atlassian space. Plenty of role postings undersell what the job actually is. The title says "Atlassian Specialist" or "Jira/JSM Administrator," and the listed duties read like steady-state operations: support tickets, patches, stakeholder questions. The…

The hidden config debt Jira silently creates for you
While running automated configuration scans across Jira instances, we noticed something unexpected: screens that are orphaned from the moment they are created. Here's how to reproduce it: * Create a new software project in Jira * Go to Admin > Screens * Search for your project key * You'll find 3 screens were auto-created…

Rank Cascading for Jira - closing a gap that's been open since 2018
Quick demo showing how Rank Cascading for Jira works in practice. This has been an open gap since at least 2018 (community) and 2022 (JSWCLOUD-23112). The only workarounds people have found involve custom REST API scripts running on a schedule - not a real-time sync. I've been there too, having built exactly that kind of…

How do you handle SEN / license validation in JSM today?
If you're an Atlassian Marketplace vendor running customer support through JSM, you've probably felt this pain: a customer opens a ticket and you have no idea upfront whether they're actually a licensed user or which entitlements they have. The only app I know of that solves this is Connect-based – which means it's on…

The Ghost Config Problem: What Jira Leaves Behind When You Delete a Space
You deleted the space. The team is gone, the work items archived, the backlog cleared. Job done. Except it isn't. Somewhere in your Jira instance, a workflow still exists. A permission scheme with that team's name. A screen scheme nobody remembers creating. A notification scheme that will never fire again. They're not…

What Nobody Tells You About Broken Links After an Atlassian Migration
Your migration is done. The champagne has been opened. Then the tickets start rolling in. "This link in the issue description gives me a 404." "The remote link on PROJ-1234 just shows an endless spinner." "All the @mentions in our old comments point to accounts that don't exist anymore." I've seen this at nearly every…

ScriptRunner Deserves a Companion. Here's What We Built
We all love ScriptRunner. It's been part of every Jira instance I've worked with for over a decade. The flexibility it gives administrators is unmatched, and there's a reason it's the most installed scripting app on the Marketplace. HAPI made Cloud scripting genuinely enjoyable. If you're migrating from Data Center,…

How do you actually keep Epic ranking in sync with your teams?
Genuine question for anyone running scaled setups — SAFe, LeSS, or just "we have a lot of Epics and a lot of teams." I keep running into the same problem at client sites: Portfolio ranks their Epics, but that ranking never actually reaches the teams. The team backlog has its own rank, and within a couple of sprints the two…

Testing Forge apps at enterprise scale – how do you do it?
Hey Folks, I'm an independent Forge developer with several post-migration apps on the Atlassian Marketplace (workflow analysis, broken URL detection, configuration cleanup). After over a decade of hands-on consulting for enterprise Data Center customers – including large-scale migrations, ScriptRunner automation, and…

The Configuration Debt You Are Missing in Jira (DC or Cloud)
I've been working with Atlassian tools for 12 years — supporting customers before, during, and after their migrations. At one client, we spent weeks cleaning up configuration before we could even start the migration. At another, workflows that had worked fine on Data Center suddenly broke in Cloud because they referenced…
