Upgrading to Out of Office for Jira v4.0.0
On we released the latest version of Out of Office for Jira, version 4.0.0.
This new version introduces two new attributes to the Out of Office object schema:
Alternate Assignee Group
Alternate Approver Group
These new fields allow you to nominate a group instead of an individual user as your alternate assignee or alternate approver. With the addition of two new attributes came extra logic to the automation rules that you would have installed when you first purchased the app. These changes require manual changes to your environment to ensure the app works as effectively as possible.
