Scenario

The purpose of this KB article is to show how to get the Form ID, which is required to use the Proforma API.

Environment

Jira Data Center with the Proforma app installed on top.

Resolution

The form ID can be retrieve by using the URL, after replacing:

  • <JIRA_BASE_URL> with Jira Base URL

  • <issueId_or_IssueKey> with the Jira Issue ID or Key

1 <JIRA_BASE_URL>/rest/api/2/issue/<issueId_or_issueKey>/properties/proforma.forms

The result looks like this:

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 { "key": "proforma.forms", "value": { "schemaVersion": 4, "forms": [ { "id": 1, "projectFormId": 1, "internal": true, "submitted": true, "name": "3/13/2024 New Form", "updated": "2024-03-13T19:52:23.822793Z" } ] } }

Where the form ID = 1.

With that you can use Proforma APIs, for example:

1 /rest/proforma/1/issue/{issueKey}/form/{formId}/answers
