Can we access JIRA boards programmatically using forge ?
For instance: to simulate movement of JIRA cards as part of the workflow visually

Hello @adihere

You sure can, via the Jira Software > Board APIs

Did you mean Jira issues, not cards?
What do you mean by ‘simulate’? Do you mean:

  1. Cause it to happen in a functional way
  2. Pretend to cause it to happen in a non-functional way

There is nothing in the Board APIs what will cause an issue to ‘move’, as boards are just interfaces into a filtered collection of issues and their current state. The only way to ‘move’ an issue is to transition it via a workflow, which the board will then reflect ‘visually’.

Moving underlying data states via workflow using API calls is the obvious way
