Quick summary
Creating a form in Jira is done by adding custom fields to your project's issue screens, allowing teams to capture structured input every time an issue is created or edited. This step-by-step walkthrough covers navigating Jira's admin settings, creating a custom field, and assigning it to the right screens.
Steps
- Click the gear icon to open Jira's admin settings.
- Select 'Issues' from the admin menu.
- Under 'Fields', click 'Custom fields'.
- Click 'Create Custom Field' to start building a new field.
- Select 'Short text' as the field type.
- Click 'Next' to proceed to field configuration.
- Name the field, provide any necessary configurations, and click 'Create'.
- Assign the custom field to the relevant screens for the project where the form will be used by clicking the checkbox.
- Click 'Update' to save the screen assignments.
- When users create or edit an issue, they will see the custom fields you added — the field acts as a form where users can input specific information.
