Tame the Scariest Jira Requests with Forms 🧙‍♀️ — Automate, Map, and Share Forms Across Every Team

[#1]

🎃 Happy Apptoberfest!

You know what’s actually scary? 👻

Opening your inbox to find three versions of the same request — one in email, one in Slack, and one as a half-written message somewhere in chat.
Or hearing external users say, “We can’t submit anything, we don’t have Jira access.”
Or spending your afternoon copying data from a form into Jira fields… one painful field at a time.

These dead workflows haunt teams everywhere — scattered, slow, and stuck between tools.

That’s why this Apptoberfest, we’re sharing a different kind of magic potion:
✨ Smart Forms for Jira — a way to bring all your requests, fields, and updates back to life (without needing an exorcist or extra licenses).

Let’s see how it scares the chaos away and turns haunted processes into harmonious workflows 👇

🪄 Banish the Workflow Ghosts with Smart Forms

Smart Forms for Jira helps every team — HR, IT, Product, Support — standardize how requests start and flow through Jira. It works across Jira Software, Jira Service Management (JSM), and Jira Product Discovery (JPD), so you can collect and process requests no matter where they come from.

Here’s the magic recipe 🧙‍♀️

---

🧩 1. Form Builder with Hidden Tricks

Craft beautiful, functional forms with a simple drag-and-drop builder.
Add fields, attachments, dropdowns — even hidden fields and default responses to guide users behind the scenes.
Auto-attach forms to specific issue types or keep them flexible for ad-hoc use.

Your teams get the structure they need, and your users finally stop guessing what to fill out.

---

✨ 2. Field Mapping Magic

Every answer lands exactly where it should — straight into your Jira fields.
You can map one or multiple form fields to any field in Jira.

That means:

• No more manual entry.

• No lost context.

• No messy descriptions full of random details.

Just clean, structured data — every time.

🔮 3. Conditional Logic that Thinks for You

Smart Forms adapts in real-time.
When a user selects “High Priority,” new fields like Business Impact appear automatically.
If they choose “Internal Request,” unrelated fields stay hidden.

Less clutter, fewer mistakes — more meaningful submissions.

🌐 4. External Sharing: The Portal to Everywhere

Open the gates (safely)!
Let users outside Jira submit forms through public links, QR codes, or embedded pages — all flowing into Jira as structured work items.
Perfect for vendors, partners, customers, and applicants — no Jira license needed.

---

⚡ 5. Automation That Does the Heavy Lifting

Combine Smart Forms with Jira Automation to make your workflows even smoother:

• Auto-create work items from form submissions.

• Trigger follow-up notifications.

• Send Smart Forms automatically via email or Slack when an issue hits a certain status — no manual sharing needed.

No more chasing updates. No more haunted inboxes.

---

🪞 6. Works Across All Dimensions

The same form can live in three realms:

• Jira Work Items 🧩

• JSM Customer Portals 🌐

• Confluence or external pages ✨

One form, one source of truth — wherever your users are.

 The Afterlife: Clean, Connected, Chaos-Free Jira

The ghosts are gone.
Every request appears exactly where it should.
Forms auto-map to fields, automation handles follow-ups, and even external users can submit without friction.

That’s not witchcraft — that’s just Smart Forms for Jira doing what it does best: bringing structure back to life.

Because the only thing scarier than Halloween…
is a lost request in your workflow. 👻
