Can Automation for Jira function in Data Center version replace JSU plug-in in Jira server?

[Jason Liu]

We are using Jira server with JSU plug-in. We want to know if we change to Data Center version, can the automation for Jira function replace all functionalities of JSU plug-in. Please help to evaluate. Thank you.

Hello @Jason Liu 

No, the Automation for Jira feature cannot be used to replace all the functionality available from the JSU plug-in.

The Automation for Jira function cannot be used directly within workflows to create Conditions or Validators.

It can be used to replicate some Post Functions.

Got it. Thank you.

Hi @Jason Liu 

As @Trudy Claspill mentions, no this is not possible as the JSU app offers functionality that automation doesn't offer.

All option related to conditions and validators can't be replicated.

There are other apps that can be used to replace JSU, like JMWE or Jira Workflow Toolbox.
