Power Utilities for Jira is a Data Center app that extends Jira's built-in workflow capabilities with additional conditions, validators, post-functions, and JQL functions. It gives Jira administrators fine-grained control over workflow behavior — enforcing input rules, automating field updates, and enabling complex search queries without custom scripting.

## Key features

- Custom workflow validators for regex patterns, unique values, and field requirements
- Custom workflow conditions to control transition availability based on field criteria
- Post-functions for copying field values, cloning issues, and conditional assignment
- Extended JQL functions including commented issues and parent issue search
- Estimate custom field for time tracking independent of Jira's built-in estimation
- Attachment listener that logs attachment events to the issue comment stream
- Workflow Viewer for auditing app usage across projects and issue types
- Compatible with Jira Data Center 11 and above
