This page outlines the current limitations of Forge feature flags.
Current limitations
Feature limitations
No analytics or evaluation metrics - Cannot track feature flag evaluation success/failure rates
No scheduled rollouts - Cannot set up time-based staggered releases (e.g., 30%, 40%, 30% over three weeks)
No experimentation - Cannot conduct A/B/C tests with feature flags
No cross-app management - Cannot manage feature flags across multiple apps from a central location
Manual percentage updates - Must manually adjust percentage rollouts; no automated progression
No displayConditions integration - Feature flags cannot be referenced in displayConditions. Use displayConditions for static, manifest-level visibility control (user role, issue type, project). Use feature flags to control behaviour within your app code.
Performance constraints
Flag evaluation latency - Feature flag initialization may add latency to app startup
Rate limiting - Feature flag API calls are subject to standard Forge API rate limits
Caching limitations - Feature flag states are cached; changes may take time to propagate
Management constraints
Resource

Atlassian Government Cloud and Isolated Cloud
Feature flags are not supported in Isolated Cloud and Atlassian Government Cloud or FedRAMP environments.
If your code uses the Feature Flag SDK, the SDK will gracefully evaluate to the default value and will not break your application code.
The following constraints apply:
Feature flag creation, management, and evaluation are not available to tenants in Atlassian Government Cloud environments
Developer Console access and feature flag lifecycle actions (create, edit, delete) are not available from government networks/environments
Not supported in any FedRAMP and Isolated Cloud environments
