Create or edit a form

Create forms that use conditional logic to dynamically show or hide fields, and add headings, tables, and rich formatting. Use forms on request types to gather information from customers, use forms to create work items, or to gather new information to existing items. To create or edit forms, you’ll need admin or project admin permissions. Learn more about forms.
