Forge App: Drag and Drop functionality not working in Jira issue panel popup/modal view

When using a Forge app with drag and drop functionality, the feature works as expected in full-screen view but fails to trigger in the Jira issue panel popup/modal view. The popup appears to intercept drag events before they reach the Forge app iframe.

Steps to Reproduce:

  1. Open a Jira issue in full-screen view
  2. Drag and drop a link into the Forge app panel → Works correctly
  3. Open the same issue in popup/modal view
  4. Attempt to drag and drop a link → No drag events are received by the Forge app

Expected Behavior:

  • Drag and drop functionality should work consistently in both full-screen and popup/modal views

Actual Behavior:

  • Drag and drop works in full-screen view
  • In popup/modal view, no drag events reach the Forge app (verified by console logs)
  • The Jira popup/modal appears to intercept the drag events before they reach the Forge app iframe

Technical Details:

  • Implemented drag and drop using react-dnd
  • Console logs show no drag events being received in popup view
  • App is running within an iframe in the Jira interface

Impact:
This issue prevents users from utilizing the drag and drop functionality when working with issues in popup view, forcing them to switch to full-screen view to use this feature.

Environment:

  • Forge Platform
  • Jira Cloud
  • Browser: Good Chrome, Firefox
  • OS: Windows , Mac

Additional Context:
The functionality is critical for linking artifacts through drag and drop operations, and users frequently work with issues in popup view.
