How to add a simple button to agile board?

[Ivan Ogorodov]

Hello!

I trying to add a button then links to page (generalPage) from agile board using location jira.agile.board.tools, but it looks like dropdown menu, not like button and clicking on it opens menu (without any items) instead showing page

My atlassian-connect.json looks like this:

{
  ...
  "modules": {
    "generalPages": [
      {
        "key": "some-page",
        "location": "jira.agile.board.tools",
        "weight": 10,
        "name": {
          "value": "Some Page"
        },
        "url": "/page?board_id={board.id}"
      }            
    ]
  ...
  }
}

And results looks like this:

I don't think you can have a simple button at that location.

If you wanted to add a dropdown menu, and launch a page from an item in that menu, you could do the following:

...
"modules": {
        	"webSections": [
          {
            "location": "jira.agile.board.tools",
            "name": {
              "value": "Some menu"
            },
            "key": "web-section-menu"
          }
        ],
        "webItems": [
          {
            "location": "web-section-menu",
            "url": "/page?board_id={board.id}",
            "target": {
                "type": "page"
            },
            "name": {
              "value": "Some menu item"
            },
            "key": "menu-item-1"
          }
        ]
}
...

I know about an example about dropdown menu, but I need a single link so dropdown menu with only one item will looks annoying

@boydo we also need this.

Is this limitation (being impossible to add a plain vanilla button) still exists in Atlassian Connect?

Yes, I just checked and the limitation still exists.

If you'd like this added, I'd recommend  creating a feature request in the Developer Service Desk.

@boydo I did that, thanks!
