I’d like to learn about:
-
the new UI locations (so that we can declare our own links, buttons, menus, etc.)
-
the REST API (specific to JWM)

At this time, there are no new UI locations available for developers. Nor are there any REST APIs specific to JWM.
OK, thanks.
@aron.gombas out of curiosity, is there something that you’re interested in building for Jira Work Management that goes beyond that’s possible with the existing what’s offered by Jira Cloud APIs? Would be interested in hearing more about your use case as we imagine where any specific ecosystem capabilities should go.
@Anthony We are developing exporter apps for Jira Cloud. We provide an entry point to our functionality from every Jira screen where exporting is a potential need, like Issue Navigator, Issue View, boards, backlogs, whatever. JWM introduces its own screens, that’s why I was asking.
For our purposes there would be absolutely necessary:
-
Mechanisms to add our own button/links to a JWM screen (i.e. registering those via the Connect JSON descriptor).
-
The ability to query for the list of the issue in that screen. If user can filter/sort the screen, then we need the filtered/sorted list (they expect to get exactly what see they in the screen). I guess it should be implemented with REST API end-points.
Does that make sense?

I created an “official” improvement in the Atlassian Connect project:
https://ecosystem.atlassian.net/browse/ACJIRA-2371
(I’m not sure if it is in the right location in that project. Adding the UI elements and injecting the context parameters to the URLs are definitely Connect responsibilities, but the REST API is more of a JWM thing. Feel free to split or relocate the issue!)

If no specific APIs for JWM, it means no options to manage Forms by API calls since it’s new entity?
Hello, I wanted to know if there is a road map for an API for JWM?
Based on the API docs, the only wayt that I see to access the list of available boards, is by getting their ids (GET /rest/agile/1.0/board)
This only lists the boards that are part of “JIRA software” and not those of “JIRA work management”
To access projects, I need to the know the board, so that does not appear to be a path toward “JIRA work management” boards either (GET /rest/agile/1.0/board/{boardId}/project)
This is a newcomer question, but is there a way to reach “JIRA work management” boards or projects through the current JIRA api (Jira Agile 9.5.0)? Are there any other API’s through which I can reach this content?
I confirm what you found about the resources you found only applying to Jira Software. That means those APIs will not work for Jira Work Management projects.
It’s been a while but I can also restate that Jira Work Management does not have any REST APIs for its specific resources. There are aspects of a Jira Work Management project you can reach through the Jira platform APIs, like projects, issues, custom fields, and workflows. However, none of the features that are specific to Jira Work Management, like boards, have APIs or would be available through the platform APIs.
Even though the current answer is “no”, I hope that helps you and others avoid wasting time.
After this thread last year, I did ask the Jira Work Management team to provide APIs. What would really help get this work prioritized is more context about what you are trying to do. What is the “domain” you are working in (HR, Legal, Marketing, etc)? What kind of users are you trying to help? What are they trying to accomplish with your API client? Would you build a Forge App with UI, or just an OAuth client to send data?

A post was split to a new topic: How do I get Jira Work Management projects & issues?
Hi, We at Screenful are developing analytics and reporting add-ons for Jira Cloud. Having API access to Jira Work Managements project boards, in the same way as it possible for Jira Software projects, would be highly useful for us. Users from any domain understand their workflow as it is visible on a kanban board and as such provides a natural integration point us. I hope this feature gets on your roadmap soon.
Thanks for your input.
For the case of project boards specifically, what do you need in a Jira Work Management (JWM) API that isn’t available in the Jira platform API? As far as I can tell, the board view is a very simple representation of Jira status, which is already available for all issues, including those in JWM. I’m not clear what data is missing from the existing API.
