Ativo Programs is migrating to the new Jira Forge platform in 2026
Forge is Atlassian’s new cloud app development platform. Forge apps run on infrastructure that is provisioned, managed, monitored, and scaled by Atlassian, rather than on vendor-managed hosting.
Atlassian is moving the ecosystem to Forge via a phased end-of-support plan. Connect end of support is planned for December 2026.
Forge is for Atlassian Cloud apps. It is not used for Jira Data Center apps. The Ativo Programs for Jira Data Center app is not impacted by this migration.
Ativo Programs will gradually migrate to Forge during 2026. During the transition, Jira admins may notice the following changes.
From May 2026, Forge-based custom fields are added to Jira Cloud sites using Ativo Programs.
These fields are expected to be used only for new installations starting May 2026. Ativo Programs installed before May 2026 will continue to use the classic custom fields, even when the new fields are also present.
To see which Ativo fields are active in your site, go to: Jira admin → Manage apps → Ativo Programs → Fields
More info on Ativo Programs custom fields.
Ativo Programs REST API keys and URLs are planned to evolve toward Forge-REST endpoints and Atlassian OAuth 2.0 (3LO) authentication.
More details (including migration steps and timelines) will be provided in a later phase.
Some updates (commonly changes that increase/modify requested scopes/permissions) require admin approval before customers can use the updated version.
