Manage your form fields

You have the flexibility to include certain fields in your business projects' forms. Recipients can enter details in order to create an issue for the project.

Required field in your form

Summary: This field is for recipients to enter the summary of the issue. This should provide an overview of the task at hand.

Other fields in your form

There are other fields in the form builder that are optional. They do not require any configuration. They are:

Description: This field is for recipients to enter more details to describe your issue.

Attachment: Enables recipients to attach files and images.

Due date: Indicates when the issue is due.

Priority: This field is to indicate the level of priority for the issue created. Priorities could be:

• Highest

• High

• Medium

• Low

• Lowest

Labels: This field allows you to informally categorize an issue using keywords or tags to easily distinguish them.

2. Select the edit icon and enter what you’d like to name that field.

Jira custom fields that are supported in forms

You may want to include more details in your forms than the default fields. Project admins can set up additional custom and system fields that can be used in your form for your project.

To see these custom fields in your form, you’ll need to add the custom fields to that issue type scheme. Learn more about how to add a new issue type scheme. Once you’ve added the custom fields to the issue type scheme, you’ll need to set up the custom fields. Learn more about setting up custom fields. Once you’ve set up the additional field(s) that you’d like to include in your form, drag the field into your form.
