AtlassianPS
Group functions should support Description
Expected Behavior
You can create a new Group and be able to provide a value to all possible fields You should be able to get the description of a function
Current Behavior
It is not possible to set or retrieve the description field
According to https://docs.atlassian.com/software/jira/docs/api/REST/8.0.2/#api/2/group-getGroup
The methid is DEPRECATED
It only supports expand parameter and only expand=users to list all the users under the group, however you can ask for a limited result, e.g. startIndex = 2 and endIndex = 5 will be expanded=users[2:5]
Do you think it is worth to implement that functionality according that Atlassian marked that REST method as depricated?
Yes, I do. As it has been marked as deprecated a long time ago, I would expect it to no longer work with Jira 8 (I didn't check).
I do not have a solution yet for stuff that we had working and had to modify for newer versions.
The best thing I came up with this far is to have a new private function Get-LegacyJiraGroup (or something similar) and have the real Get-JiraGroup have some kind of logic (try/catch? if (!$result) {}?) that will try again with the legacy function.
If so, this functionality (to try legacy functions before returning 0) could be configurable.
