Early Access Program: Forge UI fullscreen modal

We’re excited to announce the launch of the Early Access Program (EAP) for fullscreen modals in Forge! :tada:

What’s new?

Fullscreen modals are now available for Forge apps, closing a major gap for partners migrating from Connect or building complex workflows on Forge. This new capability allows you to deliver high-density experiences like rich editors and detailed object views, without squeezing content into small modal windows.

Fullscreen Modal Features

  • New fullscreen modal size exists for all Forge UI modals

  • All fullscreen modals exists with an enforced header

    • Developers can nominate icon and name for this header. If none are declared, we will look for any logo or name stored by the app.
  • Improved modal close handling to prevent data loss

    • Close button features a view.onClose method which allows a function to run before the close action is completed. This will support use cases like data saving methods.
      For the EAP this feature is currently opt in. In 2 months, we will elevate to GA which will allow users to click out of all macro custom config modals.

We understand that the enforced header is a new feature from connect fullscreen macros and this may require refactoring from partners. This enforcement was included for accessibility and UX consistency for in-product experiences to ensure we can provide the most seamless experience for end users.

We’re looking forward to your feedback! Sign up for the EAP here.

I’m trying to sign up for this EAP as well as the view.onClose bridge method one released today, but both sign-up pages are going to the ‘Forbidden’ page ( Jira Service Management ) instead of the sign-up form. I’ve been able to sign up for EAPs in the past. What am I doing wrong?

Hey Quinn!
Are you able to screenshot what you see when you click the EAP sign up link? I’ve been getting requests from other developers.

Hey Vicky, sure thing. When I click your link in the post ( Jira Service Management ) it immediately redirects to Jira Service Management . Same happens when I follow the EAP sign-up link posted in https://developer.atlassian.com/platform/forge/ui-kit/components/modal/.

This is the page it redirects to:
