React on Issue Edit / Transition Screen opening on the client side

[Jens Kisters //SeibertSolutions]

Hello,

i am trying to manipulate the jira dialogues for issue edit / transition from Javascript.

There do not seem to be JIRA.Events to be fired in this case,

is there any other way to solve this?

I am trying to add a maximize icon into that screens.

I am also thinking of reacting on the page change that happens after an issue is transitioned.

Cheers

Jens

It seems to work using  JIRA.Events

Hi @Jens Kisters //SeibertSolutions,

There's an add-on (for both Jira Cloud and Jira Server) called the "Jira Toolkit Plugin" that provides two very helpful field types called "Message Custom Field (for view)" and "Message Custom Field (for edit)." These fields allow you to display text or HTML on your issue or workflow transition screens AND, if you have Jira Server, you can inject Javascript into them to control the edit screen or transition screen!

Here's the link to the free plugin:  https://marketplace.atlassian.com/plugins/com.atlassian.jira.toolkit/server/overview

Other than that, there's always adding Javascript to the global announcement banner.  That's dangerous however; one little code error and you'll prevent your Jira pages from loading.  Always test Javascript in a test instance first!!

Hope this helps,
