How to disable description editing on click

[Sergi Q]

Hello everyone.

I apologize if this question is duplicated; I have searched before but couldn't find if it has already been resolved.

I have noticed that, on the page of an Issue, when clicking on the description to select an item, it switches to editing mode. Without discussing whether this is usable or not, is there a way to deactivate this behavior?

Thanks!

Hello @mati skiba! Welcome to the community.

Did you follow the 'atlas-connect' tutorial (https://developer.atlassian.com/cloud/jira/platform/build-a-jira-app-using-a-framework/) on your way to this situation or did you put your own auth system in place?

If you put together your own, would you mind sharing some of your code (jsBin or code pen of some sort) to get a better look at what can be happening.

Hello again @mati skiba!

Here is a little example of a node app (can be replicated easily on your website if you want) following the Basic Auth guide (https://developer.atlassian.com/cloud/jira/platform/jira-rest-api-basic-authentication/):

https://github.com/ferborva/jira-basic-api

This is the part you will be interested in comparing with your code:

...
// Atlassian API token - Obtained from id.atlassian.net
// My username - complete email. ie. xxxx@domain.com
// Atlassian domain where my Jira Cloud instance lives. ie. <domain>.atlassian.net
const token = process.env.API_TOKEN;
const username = process.env.USERNAME;
const domain = process.env.DOMAIN;


const encoded = btoa(username+':'+token)
// console.log(encoded)


// == Fetch from the Jira Cloud projects API endpoint ==

fetch(`https://${domain}.atlassian.net/rest/api/2/project`, {
  headers: {
    'Authorization': `Basic ${encoded}`
  }
}, ....

If you have any more doubts let me know or you can open a issue in the repo. 👍

Hello @Fernando Bordallo, thank you for you answer.

The tutorial is not relevant for me. I am not trying to create a Jira app, but simply to access the Jira API through a website (only client side, no server side code). Can you direct me in how to do it?

Kind regards,

Mati

You are already trying to do it the right way, but it seems your authentication is failing.  That means you are doing that incorrectly, and need to fix that.  Looking for access in other ways isn't going to help.

What are you doing differently to what the documentation says about doing basic authentication?
