Question about using Forge app with jira:issuePanel and jira:customField on the Create Issue screen

Jira Development

I am currently developing an internal Forge app that leverages the modules jira:issuePanel and jira:customField on Jira Cloud issues.

  • The jira:issuePanel module works as expected for viewing and editing issues through Custom UI and by making API calls to update my custom fields.

  • However, I would also like to allow users to update these custom fields directly on the Create Issue screen.

From my testing, it seems there is no available option to display my Forge app or interact with my custom fields during issue creation.

Could you please confirm if there is a way to enable Forge apps (with jira:issuePanel and jira:customField) to appear on the Create Issue screen, or if this is currently not supported?

Thank you for your guidance and support.

Hi @TempUser

If you only want to display your customfield in issue creation, you can add your custom field to the create issue screen via the Jira administration settings (Screen Schemes), and you need your field to be editable (seems to be the case)

jira:issuePanel is display only in the issue, not in the creation screen.

It’s not possible to show your app on the issue creation screen.

@FlixAndre

Thank you for your response.

I understand that the jira:issuePanel module can only be displayed on existing issues and not on the issue creation screen.

However, my goal is to allow users to input or modify data related to my Forge custom fields at the time of issue creation — ideally using the same logic and validation that my Forge app currently provides through its Custom UI and API integration.

Could you please advise if there is any possible workaround or supported approach to achieve this behavior?
For example:

  • Using jira:customField with additional configuration to extend its behavior during issue creation?

  • Or embedding a Forge Custom UI component within the standard field editor for the Create Issue form?

If this is not currently possible, could you confirm whether this capability is on the Forge roadmap or if there’s an existing feature request I can follow or vote for?

Thank you for your time and guidance.

Have you tried to add your customfield

Just to make you aware, I’m not an Atlassian staff member, just another Cloud developer on Forge, I can not confirm anything about the roadmap.

Hi,

Please have a look on Jira UI modifications: https://developer.atlassian.com/platform/forge/manifest-reference/modules/jira-ui-modifications/

AFAIK you can show, hide and populate fields on the Create, view and transition screens. There is a repo with samples to start from.
