ScriptRunner's move to Atlassian Forge
Atlassian has established its Forge platform as the strategic future of app development on Cloud, and the older Atlassian Connect* platform will soon be retired. This means that all apps built for Atlassian Cloud products must be moved to Forge, including the ScriptRunner suite.
*This is not related to ScriptRunner Connect, which is a standalone SaaS platform and is unaffected by this change.
This page is the central hub for information and status updates around ScriptRunner's move to Forge, and will be kept up to date throughout the transition period so you can find what you need.
Updates will include:
- Forge release availability for each ScriptRunner app
- Any user-facing changes, and who will be affected
- Key dates and milestones
- Migration start and completion announcements
What does moving to Forge mean for ScriptRunner?
All ScriptRunner Cloud apps will move to Atlassian Forge Remote by the end of 2026, ahead of Atlassian's established end of support date for the old Connect framework.
The following ScriptRunner apps are part of this program:
- ScriptRunner for Jira Cloud (including Behaviours, which is now integrated into the main app)
- ScriptRunner for Confluence Cloud
- Enhanced Search for Jira Cloud
Moving ScriptRunner to Forge means continued support and updates beyond the Connect end-of-support timeline, as well as faster access to new Atlassian platform capabilities as they're released.
In short, this move keeps ScriptRunner fully supported on Atlassian Cloud and ready for what's next.
What you can expect
ScriptRunner's transition to Atlassian Forge is already well underway. Our commitment is to complete this move with minimal disruption to you. Your scripts, configurations, and automations are designed to keep working throughout.
A few things worth knowing in advance:
You may briefly see two ScriptRunner entries in your app lists in Jira and/or Confluence. Should this happen, it is temporary and will resolve with no action needed on your part—it is an expected side effect of rolling out a Forge version of the app while a Connect version is simultaneously being retired.
Anything you need to do will be communicated ahead of time. We'll contact you via the technical email address associated with your Atlassian and ScriptRunner licence, you'll see in-app messaging, and this page will also be kept up to date as a single source of truth.
Due to differences in the Forge platform, a small number of older event types are changing. If any of your configurations rely on an affected event, you'll see a notification in-app and we will also contact you directly with details and next steps. You won't need to audit this yourself.
