Welcome to the Atlassian developer community @PatrickShiner,
There are 2 parts to that question.
“ask about”
Yes, this is the best place to ask questions about Forge. This community has many of the most seasoned Atlassian-ecosystem developers, from both inside and outside Atlassian. Your post is perfectly fine, but as you get oriented to the community you might find this useful to understand our norms:
“make requests for functionality”
Even with the participation of Atlassian’s, we need to funnel feature requests into a system that has the right teams watching for the right things. That’s Atlassian’s open Jira instance, known as JAC (for jira.atlassian.com). You can open a “suggestion” issue yourself in Jira (JAC) in the JRACLOUD project. Once you have the issue key, please let us know here so other community members can watch, vote, and comment.
There’s no harm in asking here first. Sometimes that also helps gauge if your feature request would get additional votes & comments that helps get it prioritized. Sometimes, like you’ve asked, it’s just a sanity check for workarounds before making the formal request. In any case, I can confirm that you haven’t missed anything in this case.
