Jira Dash Board shows coding instead of words

[Catherine Lee]

The Jira board shows the following in Stardust project:

Stardust PMO Dashboard
__MSG_gadget.Roadmap.subtitle                  

 [] Startdust: ORU: long load Material Purchased confirmed 29/Aug/25
     __MSG_gadget.roadmap.issues.Resolved. 

       :
       :

       etc. 

Why does the dashboard show the coding information?

It suposes to show "Roadmap 90.." and   "4 issues, 1 resolved"  in text.

It's a common error to see with Jira in versions 7.1 and higher.  It happens because the Jira application server is unable to connect to the network address for the Jira site itself.  There are a lot of different possible causes.

There is a helpful KB that better explains it over in https://support.atlassian.com/jira/kb/fix-gadget-titles-showing-as-__msg_gadget-in-jira-data-center/

That article explains several of the most common causes and ways to address them.
