Hello,

I’m trying to use plain JavaScript in a Forge UI modification. For example:

console.log(document.getElementById("assignee-field"));

However, it returns null.

Any idea why this might be happening?

Thanks,
Ibrahim

Hi @IbrahimItani

Maybe your script is running before the DOM is fully loaded, you can try adding a setTimeout.

Hello,

Thanks for your reply.
I’ve added a 5-second delay, but it’s still not working.

Just to clarify: I’m applying this logic when the assignee changes, and the DOM is already loaded at that point.

Regards,

Ibrahim

I think DOM manupulation won’t work in Forge.
