Missing Forge features

As you're aware, we've adopted Atlassian's Forge platform for developing our app, leveraging its numerous benefits, particularly in terms of security, privacy, and expedited feature development and deployment.

However, it's worth noting that while Forge offers significant advantages, there are still certain entry points and functionalities that are not yet supported. Enclosed in this compilation are items that currently fall outside the platform's capabilities. For your reference, we've included the corresponding tickets within the Atlassian Forge project.

 

Can Awesome Custom Fields be used in all Jira views?

Awesome Custom Fields are optimized for the issue view, which aligns with our intended usage for these fields.

While we acknowledge that Jira offers various views, it's important to note that not all of them are currently supported by Forge.

Our fields cannot be displayed as images in the issue navigator, lists, boards, or cards. Instead, a text representation will be shown.

Can Awesome Custom Fields be used in all Jira screens?

Awesome Custom Fields function smoothly within the create and edit issue screens. However, there are limitations when it comes to transition, workflow and create subtasks screens, as well as in bulk edit.

Regrettably, we're unable to offer graphical inputs for setting values for our fields in these contexts.

Instead, users are required to utilize object notation (JSON), which can be found for each field in the respective field documentation.

Can Awesome Custom Fields be used in team-managed projects?

Awesome Custom Fields are optimized for company-managed projects. While you may use our fields in team-managed projects, there are some drawbacks to consider.

One significant limitation is that our custom fields, as well as those from other third-party apps, cannot be created within the specific project scope. Consequently, these custom fields must be created globally by an administrator before they can be utilized by the project lead.

Can Awesome Custom Fields be used in Jira Work Management projects?
