Forge Custom UI custom field does not render in workflow transition screen and fallsback to textbox

[Hiren Maradiya]

We have implemented a Forge custom field using Custom UI in Jira Cloud. The custom field renders correctly in the following locations:

• Issue View Screen
• Issue Create Screen
• Issue Edit Screen

However, when the same field is added to a Workflow Transition Screen, the Custom UI component does not load. Instead, Jira displays the default textbox renderer.


Expected Behavior:
The Forge Custom UI component should render consistently in the workflow transition screen, similar to issue create/edit/view screens.
Actual Behavior:
During workflow transition, the field falls back to a plain textbox instead of loading the configured Custom UI renderer.


Environment:

• Jira Cloud
• Forge App
• Custom Field with Custom UI / render:native configuration

Additional Details:

• The custom field is properly added to the transition screen.
• Screen schemes and issue type screen schemes are configured correctly.
• The issue view and edit pages load the Custom UI successfully.
• The issue only occurs specifically in workflow transition dialogs/screens.

Request:
Please confirm whether Forge Custom UI custom fields are officially supported in Jira workflow transition screens. If supported, please advise how to correctly enable/render the Custom UI component during transitions.

Hi @Hiren Maradiya 

Have you tried the transition new experience? Only in this context does our custom forge app field (Issue Pickers) work correctly, as on the other screens.

Best, Wajdi
