Can we dynamically update a url that is defined in our manifest file

[Ankit kharola]

I am trying to create a issue from one jira instance to another currently i have hardcoded the url in my resolver.define functions as well as in the manifest file so can we dynamically change the url that is in our manifest file?

Hi @Ankit kharola 

You can try to implement an app in Atlassian Forge where the URL endpoints are defined generically, and the app routes requests dynamically based on input received, even though the manifest.yml file itself remains static.

Hope this helps - Happy to help further!!
Thank you very much and have a great one!
Warm regards

You cannot dynamically update the manifest.yml file, but you can construct the URL dynamically in your code. Use user input or configuration to set the instance URL and then use this value to make API calls

Create an interface for users to input the desired instance URL and store this URL using the storage API provided by Forge. This way, you can retrieve and use the URL dynamically - Hope this helps !!
