Promised is a Forge app for Jira Cloud, built by Vinit Shah for Atlassian Codegeist 2026.
The app stores, inside the Atlassian site it is installed on, the promise records it derives from comments: the sentence that held the promise, its due date, the display name and account ID of the person who wrote it, and what became of the promise. Settings are kept in Forge storage for that site.
The record is stored on the work item itself, so the same people who can open the work item can see it, and it is removed with the work item.
Promise records hold the Atlassian account id and display name of the person who made each promise. Once a week the app reports these ids to Atlassian through the Personal Data Reporting API. When Atlassian reports an account as closed, the app deletes that person’s open suggestions, and on tracked promises keeps the dates and outcome but replaces the name with “Former user” and removes their wording. When Atlassian reports an account as updated, the app refreshes the stored name. Comments and reminders the app posted are Jira content and follow Jira’s own handling of closed accounts.
The app runs entirely on Atlassian’s Forge platform. It declares no external addresses, so the platform blocks any call to a service outside Atlassian. Nothing is sent to the developer or to any third party. The developer has no access to any customer’s site or data.
The app asks only for the Jira scopes it needs to read and write work items and their properties, for Forge storage, and for report:personal-data to send the weekly personal data report. Every action a person takes in the app runs with that person’s own Jira permissions.
Uninstalling the app removes its Forge storage. Records stored on work items are removed with the work items, or by the app’s own actions.
