Deprecation of legacy Jira dashboard Forge modules

We’re upgrading Jira dashboards to a more modern and flexible experience. As part of this transition, we’re deprecating the legacy Forge modules for dashboards in favor of these new dashboard modules.

What’s changing The following Forge modules are now deprecated and will be removed on May 17, 2027:

• jira:dashboardGadget
• jira:dashboardBackgroundScript

These modules are replaced by the new dashboards:widget and dashboards:backgroundScript modules, which are now General Availability (GA). The new modules are designed for the upgraded Jira dashboard surface (also referred to as AVP dashboards).

What you need to do To ensure your dashboard extensions continue to work on the new Jira dashboard experience, you must migrate your existing modules:

1. Update your app manifest to use the new dashboards:widget and dashboards:backgroundScript modules.
2. Complete your migration before the deprecation date of May 17, 2027 to avoid service disruption for your users.
