Identifying all deprecated post functions

There is a method by which you can identify all deprecated post functions within all workflows; however, this method requires running a Python script against the Jira Cloud Workflow REST API. If you are not comfortable with this method, the only method currently is to work through all of your workflows one at a time using the JMWE workflow extensions Administration page.

To generate a list of all JMWE workflow extensions across all of your workflows, use the following Python script. A few things to note:

You must supply a few variable values:
- Your base Jira Cloud domain for the JIRA_BASE_URL variable.
- The email address with which you log into Jira Cloud, for the EMAIL variable.
- An API token for the API_TOKEN variable. If you need to generate an API token, see Manage API tokens for your Atlassian account | Atlassian Support.

Note: The script included below will only return JMWE extensions that have been added to Workflows - it does not scan any Actions for deprecated post functions. You will need to check Shared actions, Scheduled actions, and Event-based actions separately.

The script will return something like the following:
