Is there a way to create an Activity Tab from a Work Item status?

[Angie Allen]

Hoping that there's a way to create an Activity Tab from a Work Item when either a status of  Blocked and Failed Testing is selected.  Would like to have the section behave much like a comment field allowing Rich Text and adding screenshots and links etc.

Today when we select the Blocked status a pop-up window is opened asking for more details: 

Looking to see if the details entered here could be housed as a Tab in the Activity section:

Likewise for the status of Failed Testing to behave same as Blocked status and also be tagged to Activity section.

Yes, this is indeed achievable using a custom app built with Atlassian Forge, which is Atlassian’s cloud development platform designed to extend the functionality of Jira and other Atlassian products.

To implement this, your team would need some familiarity with JavaScript and React, as Forge apps are developed using these technologies. With the right setup, you can create a tailored experience that adds a new Activity tab to the issue view, one that captures rich text input, screenshots, links, and more.

The Forge module you'd want to use for this is the Jira Issue Activity module, which allows you to insert custom tabs in the Activity section of a Jira issue:
