Groovy scripts
You can run Groovy scripts both in conditions and validators and post functions. They give you more power and flexibility, but are recommended for advanced users.
Good to know
Each Groovy script has to be whitelisted. To add Groovy scripts to the allowlist:
- Go to Administration
> Manage apps > Assets Allowlist. - Select Edit settings.
- Enter the filename and the full path to the script like in the example below:
4. Select Save.
Ensure that the directory and the subdirectories where your Groovy script is located are readable by all users and executable by the user running Jira. For example:
=$ ls -al ~/Users/jira/jira-home/atlassian-jira-servicedesk-4.20.0/scripts
