How to display selected configuration values beside "Edit custom field config" in customfield page

[sumit patil]

Hi community,

I'm building a custom field using Atlassian Forge (jira:customFieldType) and using contextConfig  to allow users to select a group from the list of Jira groups. The config UI works correctly and saves the selected value, but I want to display the selected group name beside the "Edit custom field config"  link on the Custom Field > Configure page in Jira (like how some Forge or built-in fields show the current configuration value next to the edit link).

So far, I’ve explored:

• contextConfig.layout: native and render: native

• Using a formatter expression (but that only affects issue view)

• Tried looking for displayContextConfig or similar, but it doesn't seem to exist or be documented.

        here is manifest file :

         

Is there any supported way in Forge to show a summary of the selected configuration (e.g. the selected group name) directly on the custom field configuration page, next to the Edit Custom Field Config link?

If not, is there a recommended workaround or is this a feature planned for the Forge platform?

Thanks!

At the moment, Forge does not expose an API or manifest property that allows developers to customize or inject content beside the **Edit custom field config** link on the *Custom Field > Configure* screen in Jira Cloud. The `contextConfig` definition in the `jira:customFieldType` module is only used to render and persist configuration data through the native configuration dialog; Forge doesn’t provide a hook such as `displayContextConfig` or formatter for the field configuration summary. This is consistent with the current [Forge custom field module](
