Summary

Due to the removal of certain plugins within JIRA Cloud, such as the JIRA Misc Workflow Extensions, certain parts of the code have been moved into JIRA Cloud. This is detailed further in JIRA Miscellaneous Workflow Extensions (JMWE) removal from JIRA Cloud. However, some of the code changes have not made it into JIRA Server, so when migrating from Cloud to Server the workflows will be broken as they reference classes that do not exist.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Setup a workflow with JMWE 'Fields Required' validator or the 'set issue security from role' post-function.
2. Export the instance to Server.
3. Install JMWE plugin.
4. Try to use the workflow.

Expected Results

The workflow proceeds as normal.

Actual Results

The workflow fails to transition with the below error:

[c.a.jira.workflow.DefaultOSWorkflowConfigurator] Could not load class 'com.atlassian.jira.workflow.validator.FieldRequiredValidator'

Workaround

The Add-on Vendor Innovalog has published a Knowledge Base article detailing the actions required when migrating from JIRA Cloud to JIRA Server when you were using JMWE for JIRA Cloud: https://innovalog.atlassian.net/wiki/x/CatOC

While some of these steps and bits of information are published in the mentioned knowledge base article, here is the summary of what has to be done.

This can be worked around by renaming the new class names back to the old class names. For example renaming com.atlassian.jira.workflow.validator.FieldRequiredValidator to com.innovalog.jmwe.plugins.validators.FieldRequiredValidator in the workflows will fix the problem.

Notes

Reviewing the XML backups before and after the change shows the problem is obvious - the class name has changed:

			<validator name="" type="class">
              <arg name="contextHandling"></arg>
              <arg name="hidFieldsList">customfield_13600</arg>
              <arg name="errorMessage"></arg>
              <arg name="class.name">com.atlassian.jira.workflow.validator.FieldRequiredValidator</arg>
            </validator>
            <validator name="" type="class">
              <arg name="contextHandling"></arg>
              <arg name="hidFieldsList">customfield_12719</arg>
              <arg name="errorMessage">.</arg>
              <arg name="class.name">com.atlassian.jira.workflow.validator.FieldRequiredValidator</arg>
            </validator>

			<validator name="" type="class">
			
              <arg name="fieldKey">customfield_13600</arg>
              <arg name="errorMessage"></arg>
              <arg name="class.name">com.innovalog.jmwe.plugins.validators.FieldRequiredValidator</arg>
            </validator>
            <validator name="" type="class">
			
              <arg name="fieldKey">customfield_12719</arg>
              <arg name="errorMessage"></arg>
              <arg name="class.name">com.innovalog.jmwe.plugins.validators.FieldRequiredValidator</arg>
            </validator>
