Summary

Currently, when we open a Jira modal via the Jira issue action (Forge apps), the modal closes when we click the overlay (background) or press ESC. This happens because Jira is responsible for opening the modal, and not the Forge app.

Modal example from the issue action:

Suggestion

Add a feature similar to what we have on Forge https://developer.atlassian.com/platform/forge/apis-reference/ui-api-bridge/modal/

That uses the following flags to prevent the modal from closing:

    closeOnEscape: false,
    closeOnOverlayClick: false
