Hello,
We are migrating our Jira dashboard gadget from Connect to Forge (Custom UI).
In our manifest.yml we’ve defined the gadget like this:
jira:dashboardGadget:
- key: upraise-calendar-gadget
title: UpRaise - list of calendar events
description: >
View your calendar events in a convenient list format, making it easy
to track employee leaves, holidays, anniversaries and birthdays.
resource: main
resolver:
function: resolver
thumbnail: {thumbnail_URL}
edit:
resource: main
function:
- key: resolver
handler: index.handler
resources:
- key: main
path: static/upraise/build
Issue:
-
The gadget appears correctly in Jira’s Add gadget list.
-
After adding the gadget, the Configure option in the gadget header is disabled.
-
In our Connect app, the Configure option is enabled immediately after adding.
-
After we manually add configuration (via our own config UI) and then click Done on dashboard edit mode, the gadget shows:
“This gadget hasn’t been configured yet. To configure this gadget, click the ‘Edit’ button situated at the top of your dashboard.”
Configuration handling:
We’re saving and retrieving config using Jira’s dashboard item properties REST API:
export const URL_GET_CONFIG_DETAILS =
`${getHostBaseUrl()}/rest/api/2/dashboard/{0}/items/{1}/properties`;
export const URL_SAVE_CONFIG_DETAILS =
`${getHostBaseUrl()}/rest/api/2/dashboard/{0}/items/{1}/properties/itemkey`;
Called from Forge Custom UI via @forge/bridge
import('@forge/bridge').then(({ requestJira }) => {
requestJira(apiPath, options)
.then(async (response) => { /* parse and handle */ })
.catch((e) => { /* error handling */ });
});
We have the required scopes in manifest.yml
- read:dashboard:jira
- write:dashboard:jira
- write:dashboard.property:jira
Permissions are confirmed correct, and config save/get APIs are working.
Question:
In Forge, if we have defined edit: resource: main for a jira:dashboardGadget, shouldn’t the Configure option be enabled automatically (similar to Connect)?
Is there something we’re missing in order for the Configure button to be active right after adding the gadget?
