Change Location of JIRA Cutom Apps

[Subhadip]

Hi People, 

I have build a custom UI apps for jira issue pannel using forge. The app is showing in the bottom section (above comments).

I just want to know if there is any way I can change the app location to right side pannel (As shown in the screenshot). As My application is having HTML and layout, I want to move it to the right side pannel.

Hi @Subhadip!

 To move your custom Forge app to the right-side panel in Jira, you’ll need to modify the app’s manifest file to specify the location where it should appear.

In the Forge manifest (manifest.yml), you'll need to adjust the jira:issuePanel module to specify the correct location for your app. Here's what you can try:

1. Update the key for the jira:issuePanel module:

To move your app to the right-hand side panel, use the location key atl.jira.view.issue.right.context. For example:

 modules:
jira:issuePanel:
- key: your-app-key
function: main
title: "Your Custom App"
location: "atl.jira.view.issue.right.context"

2. Deploy the changes:
After modifying the manifest, redeploy your Forge app using the following command:

forge deploy

Let me know if that works or if you need any more guidance! 😊

Hi @Javier Martínez Caballero , 

Thanks for your suggestion. Let me explain to you that, I'm trying to integrate a chatbot service into Jira service desk issue. So people can us the chatbot while watching the issue. But seems after adding the location also it did not move to the right side. Snap for your reference.

Hi @Subhadip 

Welcome to the Community!

For moving it to the right-side panel, you’ll need to use a different context within the Forge manifest. You’ll need to update the module type to jira:issueContext 

I highly recommend visiting the Atlassian Developer Community for more detailed discussions and assistance. You can also consult Atlassian Forge documentation for any additional configuration you might need for your app.

Thank you for your suggestion @Tuncay Senturk _Snapbytes_ . I'm trying to add an app that consist of some UI as well iframe can that be added on the right side as "issueContext"?

No worries, I hope it was helpful.

The components that you can use in that section are limited.

Refer to the issue context documentation from here.
