# Enhancements

## Extensions

### Updated UI for *Build-your-own Condition* and *Build-your-own Validator*

The [Build-your-own Condition](https://appfire.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/JMWEC/pages/465474365) and [Build-your-own Validator](https://appfire.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/JMWEC/pages/466226183) have been updated to include a No Code option for building Jira expressions! The new interface enables you to configure the Condition or Validator and JMWE will write the expression for you!

### Create issue(s) post-function supports copying sub-tasks

The [Create issue(s)](https://appfire.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/JMWEC/pages/466256916) post-function has been updated to include support for copying sub-tasks from the original issue (the issue that triggers the post-function) to the new issue(s). Please see the documentation for details on which fields are eligible to be copied. 

### Improved copying of attachments between issues

The [Copy comments to related issues](https://appfire.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/JMWEC/pages/465474211) post-function has been updated with improved functionality for copying attachments. Now, when an attachment is copied, the post-function will check various file properties to determine duplicate files, and will append the file name of any file it determines is a duplicate. 

### Added support for ‘Team’ field in post-functions

Several post-functions have been expanded to include access to the Jira-native Teams field. The updated post-functions are: 

- [Clear fields](https://appfire.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/JMWEC/pages/466226128)
- [Copy issue fields](https://appfire.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/JMWEC/pages/466323304)
- [Create issue(s)](https://appfire.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/JMWEC/pages/466256916)
- [Set issue field(s)](https://appfire.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/JMWEC/pages/465504849)

### Validators updated with “Skip when cloning” option

It is now possible to configure JMWE validators to skip the validation when an issue is being cloned. All JMWE [Validators](https://appfire.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/JMWEC/pages/465474068) have been updated to include this option. 

### Closed Sprints excluded from new issues and copied fields

When creating new issues or setting/copying issue fields, Sprint values for closed sprints will no longer be included when the post-function executes. When setting the **Sprint** field, if using a single value and that value is a closed sprint, the field will not be set; if using multiple values, the closed sprint will not be included in the set values. The updated post-functions are: 

- [Copy issue fields](https://appfire.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/JMWEC/pages/466323304)
- [Create issue(s)](https://appfire.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/JMWEC/pages/466256916)
- [Set issue fields](https://appfire.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/JMWEC/pages/465504849)

## Actions

### Updates to Shared Actions error logging

[Shared Actions](https://appfire.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/JMWEC/pages/466288975) now log errors in the included post-functions even if the option **Stop the action if a post-function encounters an error** is not selected in the post-function configuration. A warning icon will be displayed in the post-function tile within the Shared Action, and a entry will be added to the [JMWE Logs](https://appfire.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/JMWEC/pages/466321741).

### Scheduled Actions updated with ‘Run as user’ option

[Scheduled Actions](https://appfire.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/JMWEC/pages/466321868) can now be configured to run as a specific user. 

## Migration

### Updated support for “Remove values” in migrated Set issue fields

The post-function [Set issue fields](https://appfire.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/JMWEC/pages/465504849) now includes enhanced support for migrating the option **Remove values** on multi-value fields. Migrations using JMCA and CMJ are supported!

## Code Editors

### Added support for Watchers and voters in Jira Expressions

Jira has added support for Votes/Voters and Watches/Watchers in Jira expressions; the [Jira expression editor](https://appfire.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/JMWEC/pages/466225418) in JMWE has been updated to include access to these new fields.

# Bug fixes





The following bugs are fixed in this release:

- **JMWE Event-based Actions**
  - JMWE Event-based actions were encountering issues access the new Parent field when configuring the event that triggers the action. This has been resolved.
- **Shared Actions**
  - The Shared Action editor was opening the Jira Workflow Editor in the same window/tab as the Shared Action editor which resulted in lost configurations. This has been fixed to open the Workflow Editor in a new tab.
- **Automation Rule Builder**
  - The Action Menu shortcut to copy an Action’s ID value was not copying the value to the clipboard. This has been fixed.
  - Minor display issues in the Automation Rule Builder have been resolved.
- **Nunjucks template testing**
  - In some instances when testing Nunjucks templates, the window for selecting an issue would display partially off-screen. This has been fixed.
- **Link issues post-function**
  - When editing an existing Link issue(s) post-function, the link type would revert to “blocks” any time the post-function was opened for editing. This has been fixed.
- **Transition issue(s) post-function**
  - When using the JMWE “Transition issue(s) post-function,” an error is thrown if the transition is performed by a user with no administrator privileges or project admin permissions and the post-function is configured to set a value on a field that doesn’t appear on the transition screen. This has been resolved.
- **Copy issue fields**
  - The Copy issue fields post-function was incorrectly logging changes to the current user even when the post-function was configured to run as the Add-on User. This has been resolved.
- **Build-your-own Condition**
  - In some instances the configuration would fail when **Value to compare type** was set to Text, even if the configuration was complete and valid. This has been resolved.
  - Display issues related to errors with required fields have been resolved.
- **Linked Issues Validator**
  - In some configurations, the Linked Issues Validator failed to correctly validate the configured Issue Type. This has been resolved.
- **JCMA Migrations**
  - Some migrations to Jira Cloud were encountering errors or incomplete migrations due to Comment issue(s) or Clear field(s) post-function configurations. These have been resolved.
