Feature Flag

This module allows third-party providers to send feature flag information to Jira and associate it with an issue.

Supplied feature flag information will be presented in the right sidebar of the new Jira issue view under Releases.

This module also provides actions, which allow users to create or link existing feature flags to Jira issues.

Feature flag information is written/deleted via REST. This API is part of the Jira Software REST documentation.

Note that the module key and name are not considered private and should therefore not contain any sensitive or personally identifiable information.

When a user uninstalls an app, all the data that the app sent to Jira is deleted. If the app is reinstalled, this data won't be added back unless the app resends historical information to Jira.

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. For example, an add-on which looks like:

1
2
3
4
5

{
    "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.
