Hello there,
for an Application I am currently developing I was wondering if it was possible to call the dialog of an issue action like “Log work” and to then input data, e.g. a name when cloning something, via a Forge function or the Jira REST API.
Thank you in advance!
Hi @Fjon
I searched for a similar feature some time ago and found that it’s not possible. Forge runs your custom UI in a sandboxed iframe without the ability to interact with the parent window, and there’s no bridge or runtime API to make it work. So, the best you can do currently is add a custom action that replicates and extends the required functionality based on your needs. Of course, you’ll have to implement most of the functionality yourself, which can be fun, but also very time - consuming.
Alright, implementing that function shouldn’t be too much of an issue.
Thank you for your answer!
