Recently, DragonSoft’s independently developed Jira core extension Add-on — WorkflowWise - Parallel Approval and Workflow Extension — has released a major update, with both the Data Center and Cloud editions upgraded simultaneously to v2.12.1.
This release focuses on two key areas: more flexible approval rule configuration and seamless enterprise migration to the cloud. Through a more intelligent workflow engine, WorkflowWise helps organizations handle complex business scenarios with greater agility while supporting their cloud transformation strategies.
Release Highlights: Two Major Feature Enhancements
1. Enhanced Approval Threshold Control (Based on User Count and Percentage)
In version 2.12.1, we redesigned the approval condition evaluation engine. Administrators can now configure approval thresholds based on both number of approvers and approval percentage when setting up approval steps. This allows approval workflows to move beyond rigid system constraints and better align with real-world business decision-making scenarios.
Through flexible rule combinations, organizations can easily implement common approval strategies, including:
· Single Rejection Rule (Veto Approval): Configure the rejection condition as “Number of Rejections ≥ 1.” Any single approver’s rejection can immediately reject the entire request, making it ideal for high-risk scenarios such as security compliance and financial approvals.
· Unanimous Approval: Set the approval condition to “Approval Percentage ≥ 100%,” requiring all approvers to approve before proceeding. This ensures critical decisions are fully aligned.
· Majority-Based Decision Making: Set the approval condition to “Approval Percentage ≥ 50%,” enabling agile collaboration scenarios such as technical review committees and product requirement reviews while balancing efficiency and consensus.
2. Seamless Migration Support from Data Center to Cloud
As Atlassian continues to accelerate its cloud-first strategy, more enterprises are planning migrations from Data Center to Cloud editions. To support this transition, WorkflowWise Data Center Edition introduces a dedicated DC-to-Cloud Migration Export Center. The system can now generate fully compatible Cloud migration configuration packages and approval history packages with one click.
Key migration improvements include:
· Intelligent Filtering to Prevent Migration Errors: The system automatically identifies and filters complex rules that cannot be seamlessly migrated to Cloud environments, such as certain script-based conditions, preventing migration failures at the source.
· Batch Export to Avoid Timeout Issues: For enterprise customers with large volumes of historical data, WorkflowWise supports exporting historical approval records in time-based batches, effectively resolving timeout challenges during large-scale data exports.
Migration Recommendation: Since cross-platform migration involves changes to underlying data structures, we strongly recommend testing migration packages in a sandbox environment before importing them into your production Cloud environment. This helps validate the compatibility of JQL queries, custom permission rules, and other configurations in advance, ensuring business continuity.
Who Should Consider This Upgrade?
● Jira Administrators Leverage the new threshold-based approval rules to easily configure approval workflows that match complex enterprise governance requirements. For organizations planning a Data Center-to-Cloud migration, the new migration export center helps reduce implementation risks and operational workload.
● Project Managers and Product Managers Dynamically adjust approval ratios based on team size and business requirements, eliminating the need for frequent workflow modifications caused by organizational changes and improving configuration flexibility.
● Enterprise Architects and Operations Leaders Use segmented historical approval data exports to support compliance archiving and governance requirements during migration projects.
● Security and Compliance Teams Implement veto approval mechanisms at critical approval checkpoints, ensuring high-risk operations receive review from designated roles before execution and better meeting compliance requirements.
