How to add menu item to the Export Issues menu

Forge

Hello,
I would like to add a menu item in the Export Issues menu (in the Issues page ) and the Export menu (in the Search page) or a new Menu next to the Export Issues one. I don’t see a module in Forge to do that. Is there a way to do it?

Thanks,
Edgar

Hey Edgar, sorry but we don’t have any Forge extension points on the Issues page yet.

Perhaps you could use the jira.global.navigator.secondary.actions/web-section-jira-global-navigator-secondary-actions web item in Connect though.

Hi Adam,
Thank you for answering. Ok, yes, that is what I thought as an alternative, because I see that Connect has the Web Panel, Web Section, Web Item and Search Request View modules. Once that I add a Menu and/or menu Item in the Issues page by developing a Connect App, I can access the information (like the list of issues, The Default Columns, JQL used, etc.) on the Issues page, right? So, when a user clicks on the Menu Item I created, I could export the information of the Issue page to a certain format (like PDF, CSV, etc.)?

If so, how can I access that information?, maybe using some context, configuration, etc. available in Jira?

Thanks,
Edgar

Hi Adam,
Looking at context in Connect I don’t see it has much information about the default columns for example in the issue navigator page. However, I found the following operations availabe in the REST API in Jira Cloud, to get or set the Default Columns:
https://developer.atlassian.com/cloud/jira/platform/rest/v3/api-group-issue-navigator-settings/#api-group-issue-navigator-settings

However, they mention that Connect Apps cannot access the REST resource:

Then how the Default columns, JQL and other information can be retrieved from the issue navigator page with Connect Apps?

Thanks,
