Forge custom field search aliases now support app-provided search suggestions

What's changing

Forge apps can now provide custom search suggestions for searchAlias properties of Forge object custom fields.

If your app already uses searchSuggestions, you can enable it for a specific alias by setting searchSuggestionsEnabled: true on the object schema property that defines that searchAlias. When users write JQL against that alias, Jira will show app-provided suggestions instead of default indexed values.

What you need to do

If your Forge object custom field already uses searchSuggestions and you want those suggestions to apply to a searchAlias:

• Update your app's manifest to set searchSuggestionsEnabled: true on the schema property that defines the alias.
• Ensure your searchSuggestions function is configured to handle requests for the alias.

No action is needed if your app doesn’t use search aliases, or if you want aliases to keep using Jira’s default autocomplete.
