Removal of custom fields provided by JIRA Suite Utilities plugin from JIRA Cloud
As part of our effort to modernize our JIRA Cloud infrastructure and improve the quality and performance of our offering, we have made the decision to end-of-life several custom field types that were previously provided by the JIRA Suite Utilities plugin. We have worked hard to introduce native support in JIRA Cloud for many of the workflow conditions, validators, and post functions that were provided by this third-party plugin; however, there was not enough usage of these custom field types to justify their ongoing maintenance cost.
The following custom field types are affected:
- Location Text
- Location Select
- Location Directions
- Time in Source Status
When will these changes take place?
We expect this migration to occur by the first week of June 2017.
What will happen if I am using Location Text or Location Directions custom field types?
Data in these fields will be migrated to use standard text custom fields. We expect workflow validators and conditions referencing these custom fields to continue functioning normally.
What will happen if I am using the Location Select custom field type?
Data in these fields will be migrated to use standard single select custom fields. We expect workflow validators and conditions referencing these custom fields to continue functioning normally.
What happens if I am using the Time in Source Status custom field?
This field will be disabled.
