Hi,
in Forge even if still in beta I can define custom fields that are rendered by the app itself
And that can be mass updated:
Is it possible to achieve the same functionality in a Connect app? If not, can a Connect app update a Forge-created field?
Hi @Bruno Marotta _ease solutions_,
It is not possible to update the custom field value of multiple issues at the same time with a Connect app. However, the app could update each issue one by one.
The https://developer.atlassian.com/cloud/jira/platform/rest/v3/api-group-issue-custom-field-values--apps-/#api-rest-api-3-app-field-value-post API will not let a Connect app update the custom fields created by a Forge app, as stated in the documentation:
Only the app that created the custom field can update its values with this operation.
There was a previous conversation about updating custom fields for a Connect app on the developer community, let me share the link with you: https://community.developer.atlassian.com/t/how-to-update-custom-field-value-with-atlassian-connect/49548
In general, please ask these kind of questions in the developer community where other app developers will be able to help.
It would also be interested to know why you are considering to build a Connect app instead of a Forge one.
Cheers,
Caterina
Hi Caterina,
Thanks for the answer. I will ask the same question in the development community. Using the Issue API is not really an option for us. We need to mass update issues depending on the user actions, and our experience is that by doing so, we often hit some API limits.
Cheers,
Bruno

Hello @Caterina Curti ,
Since Jira's External Assets Platform will be deprecated at the end of the year, we are planning a migration from Jira's Assets custom field to our brand new Forge custom field. In our connect app, we will run a migration and we need to update the newly created Forge CF with values. In the REST documentation, it says "Connect apps cannot access this REST resource." How can I achieve that?
Best regards,
Furkan
