Running scripts in JIRA
JIRA provides an API for people with programming skills to create add-ons to extend its
features, or to perform tasks that would otherwise be impossible or tedious. However, even
with that, it is sometimes overkill to create a full-blown add-on for what may seem like a
simple task. The good news is there is an option for you to write or program scripts which
can take advantage of what the API offers, while not having the burden of a full add-on de-
velopment.
In this recipe, we will create a Groovy script that will share a number of search filters by
adding them as favorites for everyone in JIRA—a task that would otherwise take a lot of
time if done manually.
