add text to a jira dashboard

[Haroon Habibi]

Is there a good gadget to add text to a jira dashboard?All I want to do is add a simple paragraph alongside the jira gadgets when the user is browsing the dashboard.

@Haroon Habibi Use the Text Gadget.  You can learn more here https://confluence.atlassian.com/adminjiraserver/using-dashboard-gadgets-938846990.html

Hello,

If, like me, you reached this topic via search engine but you are on Jira Cloud -> check this official free plugin :-)

it does the job

Thank you. Definitely bare bones, but most basic text formatting is available. It also supports embedded links, images, and tables. Good enough for me.

alas, the text gadget requires something installed - I will ask our admins.
