We have a couple of jira cloud add-on’s we want to migrate from Connect to Forge. One is an issue glance, and that migration is going well. The other is a dashboard gadget. I just wanted to confirm that creation of dashboard gadgets is not yet supported in forge, correct?
Hello Rachel! Thank your question and for using Forge! You’re correct, dashboard gadgets aren’t supported in Forge (yet). The list is indeed a full list of all supported extension points.
We’re continuously adding new Forge extension points to Jira. I believe that dashboard gadgets should be added later in the future, but at this point I can’t say when it will be done.
@sskorc any news about forge supporting dashboard gadgets? I am hoping to build a gadget that will fetch and display open github pull requests with a certain label.
Hello @schnerpkins! Yes, we’ve been working on adding Forge to Jira Dashboards for quite some time! However, this isn’t a thing my team has been doing, so I can’t tell anything more. Anyway, I’ll ask my colleague to provide you with any more details.
Hi @schnerpkins I am on the team working on adding support for Forge in Jira Dashboards. We are still in early days, so it won’t be ready for third party developers for quite a few months still, possibly late August/September. I am happy to keep you updated as the timeline becomes a bit clearer
Hello! Sorry for keeping you waiting, we needed to pause the work on Forge in Jira Dashboard support, but we’re now back to it! The plan is to release UI Kit support first and then work on Custom UI support. I recommend you to watch this ticket to track the progress. Also, once we ship something we’ll inform here in Developer Community and in Forge Changelog.
Hi again! I’m happy to inform that UI Kit support for Jira Dashboards is there! You can read more about that in the announcement post: Support for UI Kit Jira Dashboard Gadgets
