Announcement [2-week notice] Connect EOS customer messaging to go live to production instances for apps that have declared a 'YES' migration intent

Adopting Forge from Connect
Forge - Core Platform (excludes product REST APIs)

As per our previous announcement, we will be progressing admin-facing migration messaging for apps that have declared a migration intent of ‘yes’ on the Connected Apps page from the Developer Canary Program to production instances. This rollout will begin in approximately two weeks.

Apps affected in this rollout

  • Apps that have declared connectToForgeMigration with a migration intent of "yes"

The following app categories have already been rolled out to receive admin-facing messaging as per our previous changelog:

  • Apps that have declared connectToForgeMigration with a migration intent of "no"

  • Apps that have declared connectToForgeMigration with a migration intent of "unsure"

  • Apps that have not adopted the connectToForgeMigration module

  • Apps without a Forge manifest (i.e., Connect apps)

What you need to do

  1. Adopt the connectToForgeMigration module in your Forge manifest for each major version of your app (https://developer.atlassian.com/platform/adopting-forge-from-connect/connect-to-forge-migration-module/).

  2. Declare your migration intent as this determines which cohort your app falls into and when messaging appears.

  3. Provide a migration URL. This URL will be surfaced directly in customer-facing notices, replacing the default Atlassian messaging with your app-specific guidance.

  4. Preview the experience now using the Developer Canary Program. Customer messaging is already live on canary tenants for apps that have declared ‘yes’ to the migration intent. Install your app on a canary instance, navigate to the Connected Apps page, and confirm your migration URL renders as expected before the production rollout reaches your cohort.

More details

Exemptions

Apps that are blocked by an accepted Connect EOS FRGE ticket will be exempt from customer messaging until one month past the delivery date of the blocking feature. This exemption list is determined exclusively by partners who have submitted a Connect EOS Submission request on these accepted tickets, providing a valid use case and explanation. If an app utilises an affected feature but has not submitted a Connect EOS submission, it will not be exempted from this messaging.

For the full customer-facing experience (including more information on what admins will see), please visit the documentation here. This page will also be shortly updated to capture our rollout approach.

Added Forge CLI: Inspect application bundles with the new --inspect option

Forge - Core Platform (excludes product REST APIs)

What's changing

The Forge CLI build and deploy commands now include a new --inspect option. This option copies the Forge application bundle, as packaged for Atlassian infrastructure, into your local .forge/inspect directory.

You can use this to:

  • Investigate the final structure of your application before it is deployed.

  • Troubleshoot bundling issues or unexpected behavior in the deployed app.

This new option replaces the undocumented FORGE_INSPECT_ARCHIVE environment variable, which is now deprecated and will no longer function.

What you need to do

To inspect your application bundle, run either of the following commands:

  • forge build --inspect

  • forge deploy --inspect

After the command completes, you can find the packaged application files in the .forge/inspect directory within your project.

Fixed Linter behaviour fixed for manifest environment variables

Forge - Core Platform (excludes product REST APIs)

Forge CLI 13.3.0 introduced a server-side manifest check as part of the new approval workflow. However, environment variables in the manifest.yml file were not being interpolated before being sent to the validation endpoint. This caused the linter to return false-positive MANIFEST_INVALID_RULE errors for valid manifests.

This issue is fixed in Forge CLI 13.4.0. The CLI now correctly interpolates environment variables before performing the pre-deployment manifest check.

More details
  • Update your Forge CLI to version 13.4.0 or later by running:

    1 npm install -g @forge/cli@latest
  • For more information on using variables in your manifest, see the manifest variables reference.

  • To learn more about why these manifest checks and approvals are required, see the documentation on major version upgrades.

Added UI modifications support for Jira Service Management agent view now in Preview

Forge - JSM Cloud (excludes JSM REST APIs)

You can now use UI modifications in the Jira Service Management (JSM) agent view. This is an extension of the existing jira:uiModifications module and covers the views your agents use inside a service project.

What's changing

UI modifications now support three specific agent views:

  • Global issue create (GIC) - viewType: GICAgentView

  • Issue view - viewType: IssueViewAgentView

  • Issue transition - viewType: IssueTransitionAgentView

The agent view supports the same fields and methods as equivalent Jira views but is tailored for service projects.

Key differences include:

  • Extension context: Exposes the requestTypeId of the work item.

  • Supported fields: The set of supported fields differs from the JSM request create portal view.

  • REST API: The UI modifications REST API (GET, POST, and PUT) now accepts these three agent view types. When configuring agent view contexts, portalId must not be set, and requestTypeId is optional (omitting it means the context is not scoped to a specific request type). One of projectId, issueTypeId, or viewType can act as a wildcard, with a maximum of one wildcard per context.

You can use view.getContext() to detect the current view type:

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 import { view } from '@forge/bridge'; import { uiModificationsApi } from '@forge/jira-bridge'; uiModificationsApi.onInit(async ({ api }) => {  const context = await view.getContext();  switch (context.extension.viewType) {    case 'GICAgentView':      // Runs when an agent creates a work item in a service project.      break;    case 'IssueViewAgentView':      // Runs when an agent opens a work item in a service project.      break;    case 'IssueTransitionAgentView':      // Runs when an agent transitions a work item in a service project.      break;    default:      break;  } }, () => []);

What you need to do

No action is needed if you don't want to support the agent view. If you do want to add agent view support, simply define the context for the Agent View view types using the REST APIs – your Forge app will then be invoked automatically in the agent-specific views.

For more information, see:

• JSM UI modifications module documentation (to be attached)
• uiModifications API bridge (to be attached)

Added rovo:mcp module now available in Preview

Forge - Core Platform (excludes product REST APIs)

The rovo:mcp module has progressed from the Early Access Program (EAP) to Preview. This module enables Forge apps to expose https://developer.atlassian.com/platform/forge/manifest-reference/modules/rovo-action/ as tools that you can add to custom agents in Rovo Studio.

What's changing

Apps using the rovo:mcp module can now appear under Connected Apps in Rovo Studio. This allows makes configured actions available as tools for custom agents, enabling them to interact with external data and services.

What you need to do

  1. If you were already using the module during the EAP, no changes are required.

  2. To get started, add the rovo:mcp module to your Forge app manifest and configure the actions you want to expose.

  3. Review the updated documentation for implementation details:

Early Access Installations page improvements (EAP)

Forge - Core Platform (excludes product REST APIs)

The installations page in the developer console has been redesigned to scale with large app install bases and to give you more control over how you view your data.

Key improvements include:

  • Performance at scale — the page loads quickly even with large install bases.

  • Configurable columns — hide, resize and reorder columns, and pin your most important column to suit your workflow. Your preferences are saved locally.

  • Improved search and page navigation — find specific installations faster with a more responsive search and cleaner pagination.

This feature is currently in Early Access. To participate, sign up for the EAP.

Announcement Forge bridge invoke can now return metadata

Forge - Core Platform (excludes product REST APIs)

The Forge bridge invoke method now supports an optional metadata argument. This allows you to receive additional information about an invocation, such as rate limiting details, alongside the response.

What's changing
When you pass a metadata argument into the invoke function, it returns an object containing both a body field (the invocation response) and a metadata field. Any supported field set to true in the metadata argument will be returned within this metadata field.

Currently, rateLimitProperties is the only supported field in the metadata. This allows you to monitor rate limiting information for your invocations to better manage app performance and reliability.

Example usage:

1 2 3 4 5 invoke('getText', { example: 'my-variable' }, { rateLimitProperties: true })  .then(({ body, metadata }) => {    // Log metadata for debugging purposes    console.log(JSON.stringify(metadata)); }

What you need to do
If you want to access invocation metadata, update your invoke calls to include the third metadata argument and handle the new response structure ({ body, metadata }).

Existing calls to invoke without the metadata argument remain unchanged and will continue to return the response body directly.

For more details, see the Forge bridge invoke documentation.

Added Environment-specific configuration for Forge container services is now availalable

Forge - Core Platform (excludes product REST APIs)

What's changing
You can now use a single manifest.yml file across different deployments while adapting your Forge Container services configuration based, for example, on the environment type (development, staging, or production). This allows you to optimize for cost or performance by overriding settings like memory or CPU for specific environments.

 

What you need to do
To start using environment-specific configurations, update your manifest.yml using the new overrides syntax. For detailed implementation steps and examples, refer to the Forge Containers manifest overrides reference.

Early Access Static Content Macros for Confluence on Forge

Forge - Core Platform (excludes product REST APIs)

Static Content Macros for Confluence on Forge are now available in Forge’s Early Access Program (EAP).

Render your Confluence macros as static content instead of iframes, reducing app invocations. To enable static rendering, sign up for the EAP and add the static property to your macro module in manifest.yml, specifying either a function or endpoint (for Forge Remote).

What you need to do

  1. Sign up for the EAP: To sign up for this EAP, submit a request via the Forge EAP form here.

  2. Read detailed guidelines for the EAP here.

  3. Read documentation for the feature here.

Announcement Corrected maintenance period on refund rows in Marketplace reporting

Marketplace Platform

We’ve corrected how the maintenance (service) period is displayed on refund (credit note) rows in Marketplace reporting. Refund amounts are not affected — only the period dates have been updated to accurately reflect the full term covered by the refund.

This change affects the reported maintenance period dates shown on refund rows in Marketplace reporting. It does not change refund values.

What’s changing

Previously, refund rows in Marketplace reports could show a shorter maintenance period than the refund actually covered. This happened because the reported period was derived from a single line of the original invoice, rather than the full set of lines that made up the refund.

Because invoices are often split across multiple lines — for example, a short pro-rata segment plus the main annual term — the displayed period could be significantly truncated.

Example: A full one-year refund might have appeared as covering only 13 days.

With this correction:

  • The maintenance period on refund rows now reflects the full term covered by the refund, from the earliest start date to the latest end date across all constituent invoice lines.

  • Period dates are now sourced from our finance system of record, which correctly handles multi-year billing terms.

What’s not changing

  • Refund amounts are unchanged. This update only corrects the reported period dates; no monetary values are affected.

  • The majority of refund rows, approximately 86%, were already displaying the correct period and will not change.

What you need to do

  • Review your reporting. If you use maintenance period dates from Marketplace reports to calculate period-based metrics, such as annualized revenue or daily run-rate, you may see changes for affected refund rows.

  • No action is required if you only use refund amounts in your reporting, because those values remain unchanged.

If your reporting uses only refund amounts and not maintenance period dates, this update should have no impact on your workflows.

Deprecation Notice Removing dashboard subscriptions and server-side PDF/PNG exports from Atlassian Analytics

REST API - Jira Cloud Platform

Starting September 2026, we are deprecating subscriptions on Atlassian Analytics dashboards.

What's changing
We are phasing out the ability to create and receive dashboard subscriptions in the following stages:

  • September 8, 2026: You will no longer be able to create new dashboard subscriptions.

  • November 2nd, 2026: The dashboard subscription will be fully removed for low-touch customers.

What you need to do
If you or your users rely on existing emailed dashboard reports, you should prepare for this feature's removal by November 2nd, 2026. We recommend exploring alternative ways to share data or transitioning to manual exports where available before the end-of-life date.

Added Check your Connect-to-Forge migration progress in CLI

Adopting Forge from Connect

We’ve released the new adoption-status CLI command that analyses your manifest.yml and shows:

  • How much of your app has been migrated to Forge

  • Which migration requirements are complete

  • What remains to be done before you can finish your migration

Run the command

From your Forge app directory, run:

1 npx @atlassian/connect-to-forge@latest adoption-status

No installation is required.

If your manifest is in a different location, specify its path with the --manifest option:

1 npx @atlassian/connect-to-forge@latest adoption-status --manifest path/to/manifest.yml

For detailed information about the command and its output, see https://developer.atlassian.com/platform/adopting-forge-from-connect/adoption-status-tool/.

Added Developer Console now displays build tags used for deployments and environments

Forge - Core Platform (excludes product REST APIs)
