UI Modifications template not working for IssueView UIM Context

[Kevin Setter]

I created an app type jira-ui-modifications from the forge cli templates using forge create. In that template in the main index.js file is the following code that registers project - issue - viewtype contexts.

The viewType GIC that comes with the template works. I can see console.log statements in the client side console for logging statements I put into these methods

uiModificationsApi.onInit(...) nor uiModificationsApi.onChange(..)

const result = await api.asApp().requestJira(route`/rest/api/3/uiModifications`, {

    method: 'POST',

    body: JSON.stringify({

      name: UI_MODIFICATIONS_NAME,

      contexts: [

        {

          projectId: '10100',

          issueTypeId: '10500',

          viewType: 'GIC'    <=== works when creating a new Issue

        }

      ]

    }),

    headers: {

      'Content-Type': 'application/json',

      Accept: 'application/json'

    }

  });

When I change the viewType to IssueView from GIC, it doesn't appear to work. I don't see any console.log statements from within the 

uiModificationsApi.onInit(...) nor uiModificationsApi.onChange(..)

const result = await api.asApp().requestJira(route`/rest/api/3/uiModifications`, {

    method: 'POST',

    body: JSON.stringify({

      name: UI_MODIFICATIONS_NAME,

      contexts: [

        {

          projectId: '10100',

          issueTypeId: '10500',

          viewType: 'IssueView'    <=== not working when viewing an Issue

        }

      ]

    }),

    headers: {

      'Content-Type': 'application/json',

      Accept: 'application/json'

    }

  });

Maybe I'm not understanding what IssueView means? I thought it meant when I open an Issue from the Issues list and View the details. I need the ui modifications change event to work on both creating and viewing an Issue.

Notes
- when I changed the viewType I uninstalled the app from the test site, re deployed and re installed. Then flushed cache in browser to test.

- I get a 201 returned from the API call above on registering the uiModifications

- I tried several combinations of contexts, both together, multiple calls to the API, etc...

I'm out of ideas (and running out of time).

Hi @Kevin Setter - where are you opening the issue? Please have in mind that we do not support all issue view locations yet (there's a lot of them), only 3 for now: 

• Full page issue view
• Board issue view
• Backlog issue view

can you attach the screenshot/url path after page address where you are opening the issue? Then I will be able to detect the Issue View location and provide information if it's supported.

Thank you

[Kevin Setter]

Since Board is supported I went to the 'Board' for my project and opened an issue from the board. 

Still no activity (console.log statements visible). The Create button does produce activity still.

Let me know if I'm still not opening a supported view. 

Thanks

@Kevin Setter it is a supported view. We are trying to reproduce it on our side, we will come back to you with the findings. In the meantime could you please try to use UI modifications example app: https://bitbucket.org/atlassian/forge-ui-modifications-example/src/master/, there's an admin panel and it works well for Issue View.

Thank you

@Kevin Setter we tried to reproduce it multiple times in various scenarios and for us the problem appears only in one scenario: when we forget to run `forge deploy` before reinstalling the app. Can you please check:

- `forge deploy` after changing `GIC` to `IssueView`

- `forge uninstall` 

- `forge install` to trigger the creation of UIM with a context 

and let us know if it fixes the problem?
