The new user interface
Bye-bye, Lavender! A lot has changed visually. But don't worry. The interface may have lost some color, but it has gained much more: FOCUS
The user interface got a total makeover to improve your workflow customization experience and speed up the process itself. Only what is important at that moment is presented to you so that you can complete the configuration smoothly and quickly.
The context-sensitive user interface still offers all functions and even a few additional ones. But more about that later.
But we didn't stop there. Function names and descriptions have been made clearer and more explicit across all features in the app. We also retired a handful of functions. Your existing configurations will not be affected by this change. There is therefore no immediate need for action.
In summary, these changes make configuration a snap for users of all skill levels

We would like to introduce to you: Your new control center for customizing workflows and writing JWT expressions!
When it comes to working with workflows, it is important to have everything you (might) need in one place. That is why you can now find a few new useful menus and buttons in the expression editor.
Most significant is the new Field code injector drop-down list. Now you got all available fields to access the data of your issues in a single drop-down. Even essential data that is not directly accessible through the UI.
And in case you didn't notice it on the screenshot, all field codes are now easy to read and understand! Goodbye %{00031}, hello %{issue.summary} and %{parent.assignee}.
Preparing for JWT 3.0
The upgrade to JWT 3.0 can be done from an older version without further intermediate steps.

No downgrade path: Since JWT 3.0 is a major release including updates to the vast majority of features. Most prominently from a technical point of view, we completely overhauled the field code syntax. This is one of the reasons, apart from other structural enhancements and architectural changes, why you can not downgrade to a previous release after working with the new syntax. pretty large release, where we don't let any place untouched, and as we e.g. introduce our new field code syntax, there is no downgrade possibility after configuring those. Please keep this in mind when planning your Jira and JWT update. |
Furthermore, with the JWT 3.0 release, names of workflow functions have been adapted. We are sure that this step will not only help beginners to find their way around the tool, but also help pro users to find the most suitable workflow function for the use case even faster.

Naming change:changes Some of our workflow features have been renamed to make them easier to understand. Please find a full list of our functions in the corresponding overview page. |
Deprecation and end of support notice
As part of our JWT 3.0 release we have marked several outdated workflow features as deprecated. These are hidden by default from the overview to prevent the creation of new functions of this type. Although this can be overridden by setting in the administrationbehavior could be deactivated in the xApps library configuration, we strongly advise against doing so, as these functions can will be completely removed in future releases.
Furthermore we would like to point out that with JWT 3.0 the support for Internet Explorer 11 has expired. Please use an alternative and more modern browser for configurationto use the full power of JWT.

Deprecation notice: With JWT 3.0, we are deprecating some of our workflow functions. It is highly recommended to replace them with alternative functions. Already configured functions, as of today, continue to work but new ones cannot be selected anymore. Existing deprecated functions can, however, be updated. |
