Sharing a form with external users allows individuals outside of Jira to fill out the form. For example, when hiring, candidates may need to provide additional information, or salespeople may collaborate with partners from other companies.
When sharing a form with external users, you can share the form using a link that allows an unlimited number of responses. There is no requirement to associate the form with a Jira issue, and users can fill out the form at their convenience without any time restrictions. So, you can share forms like in Google Forms.
