How to limit jira:issuePanel to a single project instead of global installation?

[Ryan Jones]

Question: I need to create a Forge app with a jira:issuePanel that appears in only ONE specific project, not across all projects on the site.

What I've tried:

• Manifest-level project filtering (doesn't appear to be supported for issue panels)
• Getting project context via useProductContext() in Custom UI - returns undefined
• Using a backend resolver with invoke() to get project info - the invoke call doesn't execute
• Reading project key from req.context.extension.issue.key in resolver - same issue with invoke not connecting

Details:

• Using Custom UI (render: native)
• Resolver is defined in manifest and exports handler correctly
• App has read:jira-work permission
• During forge install, there's no option to select specific projects - it installs globally

Question: Is there a way to scope a jira:issuePanel to a single project? Or is global installation the only option for this module type?

If project-scoping isn't possible, what's the recommended approach for building project-specific functionality in issue panels?

Hey @Ryan Jones 

Thanks for your question.  @Sunny Ape is right that you'll probably see quicker replies at developer.atlassian.com/community - the community forums specifically set up for app developers, however we do still answer questions here in the community forums. 

You can use the displayConditions option for the Jira Issue Panel module in your app manifest to specify the projects you want the panel to work for. 

For example, I created a test project with the following manifest:

modules:
  jira:issuePanel:
    - key: test-issue-panel-hello-world-issue-panel
      resource: main
      resolver:
        function: resolver
      render: native
      title: CART Only Issue Panel
      icon: https://developer.atlassian.com/platform/forge/images/icons/issue-panel-icon.svg
      displayConditions:
        projectKey: CART

The issue panel displays in my CART project but not my other projects. 

I hope this helps!
