I have created a small app that displays properly in the Board view of regular Jira spaces (see the “Issue states” option in the image below):
But when I open a space that is a “business project”, my app is no longer visible in the Board view. In the problem space’s settings page, in the “How your space is managed” setting it displays “Jira - business project”
Is this a limitation of business projects, or am I targeting the wrong ui modules? In my manifest file I specify handling for:
jira:backlogAction
jira:boardAction
jira:issueNavigatorAction
Thanks,
Mike
Hello @MikeHedman
Your screen grab appears to be from a board within a Company or Team-Managed Project in Jira SOFTWARE, but Business Projects are part of Jira WORK MANAGEMENT, which does not have boards with identical functionality. In the context of that project type, the manifest modules jira:backlogAction and jira:boardAction currently have no meaning, so your app can’t be ‘surfaced’ in the same place as your screen grab shows.
The topic of which Jira modules apply to which board types of which project types is not exactly well documented, but once you lean more about which type has which functionality, you’ll avoid those pitfalls.
I think you are correct. I went looking to see which manifest modules would be applicable, but was not able to figure it out. I even tried the Extension Point Finder for Jira app, but it didn’t help me.
Any suggestion on what modules I might try?
Jira Work Management was recently amalgamated into Jira (JWM used to be a separate product from Jira itself), and the Jira modules documentation doesn’t clearly delineate which are specific to it in the same way as the Jira Service Management modules are.
Some of the Jira modules like jira:issueGlance , jira:issueAction , jira:adminPage etc are ‘universal’ to all of Jira and all project types, but others like the new (in Preview phase) ones like jira:sprintAction and jira:backlogAction are specific to Jira Software project boards, but the documentation doesn’t tell you that… you just have to use The Force and know it.
The discussion about the vagueness of the documentation on this topic comes up on this forum quite often.
So, that’s my round-about way of saying… try them out for yourself to find which ones work or don’t for JWM projects

@anon96974232 Thanks for the response. I did find one small clue on this page https://developer.atlassian.com/platform/forge/jira-full-page-modules/ , so I’ll take your suggestion and try out the project page modules, and hope I luck into a solution.
