[JIRA] Wanna replace this JWT boolean condition with Adaptavist?

I’m not an ambassador for Adaptavist, but just blogging this piece just in case if anyone finds interesting.

In some JIRA workflow configurations you might let certain statuses to allow any status transition inbound. This effectively allows a “transition loop”, making it possible to transition to itself. In UI/UX perspective, this wastes screen space for an additional transition button.

“Bypass” JIRA SSO login when SSO isn’t working

Today I hit a snag when I was attempting to log into one of our JIRA dev environments where SSO unexpectedly wasn’t working properly and it didn’t let me in.

[JIRA] Broken Permission Schemes?

Edit (24 May): Spoiler alert! There’s a better way.

I came across a corrupted JIRA database with all projects lost their permission schemes.

[JIRA] Delete projects from XML backup using Python

[Experimental]

If you are a JIRA system administrator, have you ever come across the requirement of partially exporting JIRA into XML – probably for importing individual projects into another JIRA instance?
