Ending Connect support

You can no longer publish Connect apps on the Atlassian Marketplace. All new extensibility features will be delivered only on Forge.

Refer to this blog post for our timeline to end Connect support.

Have an existing Connect app? You can incrementally migrate it to Forge.

Project Admin Tab Panel

Project administration tab panel modules add a new tab and corresponding page to the left hand menu on the Jira project settings (previously called project administration) page.

Example

1
2
{
  "modules": {
    "jiraProjectAdminTabPanels": [
      {
        "location": "projectgroup4",
        "url": "/my-admin-panel",
        "weight": 100,
        "name": {
          "value": "Admin Panel"
        },
        "key": "admin-panel"
      }
    ]
  }
}

Properties

key

Type	string
Max length	100
Required	Yes
Pattern	^[a-zA-Z0-9-]+$
Description	A key to identify this module. This key must be unique relative to the add on, with the exception of Confluence macros: Their keys need to be globally unique. Keys must only contain alphanumeric characters and dashes. The key is used to generate the url to your add-on's module. The url is generated as a combination of your add-on key and module key.

Example

For example, an add-on which looks like:

1
2
{
    "key": "my-addon",
    "modules": {
        "configurePage": {
            "key": "configure-me",
        }
    }
}

Will have a configuration page module with a URL of /plugins/servlet/ac/my-addon/configure-me.

name

Type

i18n Property

Required

Yes

Description

A human readable name.

Represents a string that can be resolved via a localization properties file. You can use the same i18n Property key and value in multiple places if you like, but identical keys must have identical values.

Example

1
2
{
  "value": "My text"
}

Properties

value

Type	string
Max length	1500

Description	The human-readable default value. This will be used if no translation exists. Only the following HTML tags are supported: `b`, `i`, `strong`, `em`, and `code`.

i18n

Type	string
Max length	300
Description	The localization key for the human-readable value. Translations for the keys are defined at the top level of the add-on descriptor.

url

Type	string
Format	uri-template
Required	Yes
Description	Specifies the URL targeted by the tab panel. The URL is relative to the add-on's base URL.

conditions

Type	Single Condition, Composite Condition...
Description	Conditions can be added to display only when all the given conditions are true.

location

Type

string

Description

The name of the group of tabs in the project configuration where the tab panel should appear. The following are accepted values.

`projectgroup1`
`projectgroup2`
`projectgroup3`
`projectgroup4`

See Project Configuration Locations for details.

params

Type	object
Description	This object represents a map of key/value pairs, where each property name and value corresponds to the parameter name and value respectively.

Example

1
2
{
  "params": {
    "someOtherProperty": "someValue",
    "myCustomProperty": "myValue"
  }
}

weight

Type

integer

Description

Determines the order in which the tab panel's link appears in the menu or list.

The "lightest" weight (i.e., lowest number) appears first, rising relative to other items, while the "heaviest" weights sink to the bottom of the menu or list.

Built-in web items have weights that are incremented by numbers that leave room for additional items, such as by 10 or 100. Be mindful of the weight you choose for your item, so that it appears in a sensible order given existing items.
