When can forge provide post function? If so, what are the implementation methods? If not, does it only support connect?

Sorry, I don’t totally understand your question. It be better if you explain a bit more

- If you want to make a post request on jira or confluence apis you would have to add scopes in your manifest.yml.

```auto
permissions:
  scopes: 
    - 'read:me'
    - 'jira:read'
    - storage:app

```

reference:- [here](https://developer.atlassian.com/platform/forge/product-rest-api-reference/)

- if you want to send a request to an external api. you would have to app the api url in the manifest.yml like

```auto
permissions:
  scopes: [
    'read:me'
  ]
  external: 
    fetch: 
      backend: 
        - 'api.giphy.com'

```

Hi @liumulin ,

Excluding [connect-on-forge](https://community.developer.atlassian.com/t/discussion-connect-and-forge-together/48261/), which is in alpha, I believe workflow validators are the closest Forge feature.

Hello, does forge provide a rest API for post function?

@liumulin,

> does forge provide a rest API for post function?

No. The ability to extend [issue workflow post-functions](https://support.atlassian.com/jira-cloud-administration/docs/configure-advanced-issue-workflows/#Advancedworkflowconfiguration-postfunctions) is only available as [a Connect Module](https://developer.atlassian.com/cloud/jira/platform/modules/workflow-post-function/) at this time. To @jhazelwood’s point, [the Forge workflow validator](https://developer.atlassian.com/platform/forge/manifest-reference/modules/#jira-workflow-validator--beta-) module is the most similar concept available to Forge.

OK, thank you. Can forge implement the validator function? Does forge provide a rest API for storing validator properties? In addition, Can forge provide rest APIs for JQL function and condition?
