Limitations

Live Fields is a Forge app that utilizes Jira UI Modifications (UIM). Due to this, there are some inherent limitations within Live Fields that stem from this Forge module. Atlassian has documented a few known limitations here. Specific limitations for Live Fields are listed below.

Issue Transition screen support

Currently, Live Fields does not support the Issue Transition screen as a location for implementing UI modifications. This is due to the Issue Transition screen still being a Preview feature.

Mixed project type support

The two views currently supported by Live Fields - Issue create view and Issue view - have different levels of support based on the type of Jira project. Currently, the following is available:

• Issue create view

  • Company-managed and team-managed projects in Jira Software

  • Company-managed and team-managed projects in Jira Work Management

• Issue view

  • Company-managed and team-managed projects in Jira Software only

Unsupported Jira products

Currently, the Jira Service Management and Product Discovery products are not supported in Live Fields.

Looping over fields

A specific limitation exists when creating your Live Fields scripts - iterating through a list of fields using forEach is currently unsupported.

This is due to the way UIM works; UIM requires that an app signals in advance which fields are to be modified. When using a forEach loop to perform identical actions on an array of fields, Live Fields is currently not able to inform UIM of the fields being modified, so the script will fail.
