Cannot get issue updated event to send back to my forge application

[Matt Sumnicht]

I have created a forge application that communicates with my local servers. When i added logic for sending an issue updated event back to the forge application, no logs appear.

In the YAML file

- key: issue-updated-trigger

function: issue-webhook-fn

events:

- jira:issue_updated

I have turned on development mode on the JIRA side, the application is in the dev environment, and installed on my JIRA instance, but no issue update events are passed through.

How do I get the issue_updated event to be sent to my forge application?

Hi @Matt Sumnicht ,

This might be a good question for Developer community, but also a question from my side - what are you updating on the Jira issue/item itself? Is it a specific field value, or are you potentially transitioning an item through a workflow?
If it's the latter, you could try using jira:issue_transitioned, but again, it depends on the use case itself.

Also, I believe there are some exceptions for issue updated event, such as "Link issue", "Assign issue" and "Log work" actions > these do not trigger the mentioned event. 🔕

Again, it might be best to check with Dev community about this. 👀

Cheers,
Tobi

Hi @Tomislav Tobijas , i am changing the description for the ticket. The issue updated event gets fired if I explicitly configure a webhook on the JIRA side, but I need it to work with the forge application. The event I would think should fire on each update.

Yeah, this should work as you've said (on the Forge side).

Again, it might be the best bet to check the Dev community, as they are working much more closely with Forge than the people here. However, it would be great to hear how you've resolved this once you do.

Solved

jira:issue_updated needs to be 

avi:jira:updated:issue in the YAML

to be picked up by the forge app
