Does "WebPanels" and "JiraIssueContent" work together?

[Gaurang Chauhan]

In my app, I created two web panels with location "atl.jira.view.issue.left.context" and "atl.jira.view.issue.right.context". It is working properly. But when I created one more module with "JiraIssueContents", the web panel with location "left" is not visible on the screen.

My configuration on the descriptor file is as below. Let me know if I am missing any configuration over here.

{
  "modules": {
    "jiraIssueContents": [
      {
        "icon": {
          "width": 24,
          "height": 24,
          "url": "/assets/images/image-18x18.png"
        },
        "target": {
          "type": "web_panel",
          "url": "/jiraIssueContent"
        },
        "tooltip": {
          "value": "Jira Issue Content"
        },
        "jiraNativeAppsEnabled": false,
        "name": {
          "value": "Jira Issue Content"
        },
        "key": "jira-issue-content"
      }
    ],
    "webPanels": [{
      "url": "/left-web-panel",
      "location": "atl.jira.view.issue.left.context",
      "layout": {
        "width": "100%",
        "height": "100%"
      },
      "weight": 50,
      "supportsNative": false,
      "name": {
        "value": "Left Web Panel"
      },
      "key": "left-web-panel"
    },
    {
      "url": "/right-web-panel",
      "location": "atl.jira.view.issue.right.context",
      "layout": {
        "width": "100%",
        "height": "100%"
      },
      "weight": 50,
      "supportsNative": false,
      "name": {
        "value": "Right Web Panel"
      },
      "key": "right-web-panel"
    }]
  }
}

Thank you in advance.

Hi @Gaurang Chauhan 

I understand that you are creating a connect app to work with Jira Cloud, but have found that trying to use both the "atl.jira.view.issue.left.context" and "atl.jira.view.issue.right.context" the left panel does not appear as expected.  I should start by saying that I'm not a developer and that this really is not my area of expertise.  You might find more clarity by asking this kind of question over in our developer community https://community.developer.atlassian.com

That site is separate from this one, but it specifically serves questions like this one.

With all that said, taking a look at https://developer.atlassian.com/cloud/jira/platform/new-issue-view-ui-locations/ it does have mentions about backwards compatibility for each atl.jira.view.issue.[left | right].context , which would indicate to me that the way I think you are trying to do this is the legacy method that is not always expected to work with the new issue view that Jira Cloud is using today.  There is a note about using the right context here:

Glance backwards compatibility

Glances are backwards compatible with the atl.jira.view.issue.right.context location, but we strongly recommend you create or update your app using the Atlassian Connect issue glance module to provide a high quality user experience.

It appears that your code have defined "jiraIssueContents" for the left context, but I don't see any "jiraIssueGlances" defined under modules in your sample code.  I think this is necessary for the glance / right context entry to work as expected.

I hope that helps, but if not, then I would still suggest reaching out over on https://community.developer.atlassian.com for additional help here.

Cheers,

Andy
