Do you feel like your Jira instance is…
Not reaching its potential?

The number of fields in different teams and projects makes issue configuration confusing and convoluted.
Blocking productivity and collaboration?
Wrong information input makes reporting and communication more difficult for managers and team members.

Set yourself up for success with these best practice tutorials to improve data accuracy and reporting, remove friction for users, and regain control of your issues.
How to automate internal processes
Tailor the issue creation screen to reduce manual work and improve efficiency and productivity.
Use case:
As a Jira admin, you want to assist Jira Cloud users with the creation of Epics. You're doing so by setting up a default description that can help them fill out the necessary information for all epics under a specific project. Behaviours also allows you to configure this default description across multiple projects and issue types. The default description text allows users to reduce the number of repetitive tasks and keep them focused on the right requirements for each epic.
Behaviours scripts:
How to block field editing
Ensure crucial information isn't compromised and can't be edited once it has transitioned stages in a project.
Use case: As a Jira admin, I want to protect the integrity of a business proposal, contained within an epic. In order to achieve this, I want to lock the field where this proposal lives and make it read-only once it has transitioned from 'in review' to 'approved'.
Behaviours scripts:
How to display relevant options when configuring issues
Use Behaviours to automate custom fields for a frictionless, accurate, and consistent data entry process.
Use case:
As a Jira admin, I want to ensure that every time a support request issue type is created under a specific project, the user can select which type of component is required for that request, and if the request is marked as urgent, a second tab with the escalation details is triggered that needs to be filled in by the user that has made this request. The escalation details tab can also be filtered by department, so only relevant fields need to be filled out, depending on the department that has to address the issue request.
Behaviours scripts:
How to customise workflows by user group
Work more efficiently and gain more control over your issues by making certain fields mandatory for specific users after an issue is transitioned.
Use case:
As a Jira admin, I want team leads to fill out release note details when a story or a task is moved from 'in progress' to 'done'. Other users won't be able to edit this field, and it will be made required for engineering leads only.
Behaviours scripts:
More focus time, fewer errors
Behaviours is an essential tool for cultivating a productive Jira ecosystem. You can transform your Jira environment into a streamlined and efficient platform by aligning Jira with your business processes, enhancing user experience, and improving data quality.
- Align Jira with your business processes: Automate field behaviours and enforce specific processes to reduce manual work and minimise errors.
