Does the new Forge UI Kit support loading external iframes inside Jira Issue Context apps?

Forge Forge UI Kit and Custom UI

Hi, I’m building a new Jira Forge app and want to confirm if using an iframe is supported in UI Kit.

Specifically, can I embed a hosted widget URL inside the Forge app like this format?

{WidgetHostedUrl}?isJiraApp=true&ticketDetails

We previously had a Jira Connect app, but it has been removed from the Marketplace, so we are migrating to Forge.

Does Forge allow loading external iframes, or is there any alternative recommended approach?

Thanks!

Hello,

The jira:issueContext module support both Custom UI or UI kit for rendering. But only Custom UI support having an iframe. If you really need to use UI kit, you can use the Frame component to open a Custom UI, that will itself open your iframe … but I will highly discourage doing that.

You will also need to add your WidgetHostedUrl into the manifest.yaml > permissions.external.frames
