How to Run Scripts in Jira #
Jira scripting allows administrators and development teams to automate repetitive tasks, customize workflows, and extend Jira functionality beyond default capabilities. By using scripting tools organizations can execute custom logic directly within Jira without building full plugins.
Whether you want to automate issue updates, create advanced workflow conditions, or schedule recurring maintenance tasks, running scripts in Jira provides a flexible and scalable solution.
