Creation of jobs: New jobs using Python 2 will not be allowed.
Managing jobs: Editing or updating a job will be allowed only with the Python 3 script.
- Editing an existing job with a Python 2 script will change the scripting version setting to Python 3. Hence, you must update the script to Python 3 before saving.

Execution of jobs: Execution of an existing job that has Python 2 scripts will not be allowed.
