Hi! This is my first time working with Forge apps. I’m trying to add a button that triggers a dropdown on the header of a Jira Issue but I can’t seem to find the right place. Is there any way to do it either with the UI Kit or a Custom UI?
The red areas are where I’d like to add it but if not, I’d be okay with having a dropdown underneath the summary (it doesn’t need to do anything else inside the issue panel though).
Thanks for your help!
Hi @BorjaHerrero ,
Welcome to the Atlassian Developer Community.
It seems like you should be utilising the Jira issue action extension point.

Hi @dmorrow,
Thank you for your response. Don’t Issue Actions trigger a modal?
My idea was to get something on the header. Either right next to the breadcrumbs or adding another icon like the one for voting or sharing. Would an action then be the right way of doing so?
Thank you.
Hi @BorjaHerrero ,
Yes, Issue Actions display a modal in which you can have some UI presenting information or providing some additional user experience.
I take it that you just want to display some information to the user. A simple option would be to present a flag using the flag API. As for showing a header panel to present information, a rough thought is setting an issue entity property and using a issue entity property display condition to control the visibility of the header panel, but this would require further investigation and in particular, I’m not sure how dynamic the issue view is with respect to evaluating display conditions.
