UserPref not working in JIra v7.2.3 but working with v5.2.5

[Sadaf Fatima]

I have created a gadget and i want to set the user preferences in the gadget.

I have added UserPref

<UserPref name="Project" display_name="Projects" default_value="Test" >

// Get userprefs inside the content tag.

   var prefs = new gadgets.Prefs();

I am able to see the edit button in the gadget but not able to see the configuration section in gadget for version 7.2.3.

But once i use the same gadget file in older version (i tried with v 5.2.5) then it is working properly. I am able to see the user preferences.

Any Idea about this issue?

For me the "gadget" module type stopped working since JIRA 7.2.0. It was in June and now I do not remember if gadgets were not loaded or partially non-functional. Anyway I had to rewrite them into new dashboard-item modules.
