Automatic Form Addition to a Jira issue is employed when it is necessary to instantly attach specific forms to designated Jira issue types during their creation. This functionality enhances the efficiency and accuracy of issue management by providing a standardized and consistent format for capturing relevant details. Predefine added forms guide users to provide specific and relevant details, ensuring the completeness and consistency of the information captured. In addition to allowing the user to fill out a form in a Jira issue, it can be shared with external users from the issue.

Characteristics

  • Set auto-adding of one or multiple forms to the desired issue types.

    • The form can automatically be added to a new issue created after form submission. Therefore, if the issue type selected in the "Create a new Jira issue" setting is the same as the one chosen for "Automatic Form Addition," any issue created after form submission will include the form that was set with Automatic Form Addition.

  • Save form as Draft in its current state to return and complete it later. Read more.
