Submitting an Idea to Jira Product Discovery WITHOUT the Creator Role

[Jodi Jones]

I am a HUGE fan of Jira Product Discovery!!  I am adding some people as Contributors who I really just need to be able to view and vote.  I'm looking into allowing them to add Ideas I can then "triage" and add all the right fields, etc.  When I look at the Contributor role, it has the option for "Submit an Idea".  The description says "Create an idea via an intake form,  Chrome extension or chat apps - typically used as a way to gather ideas from contributors."

Can someone provide guidance as to how I could use either of the below to get ideas from Contributors (users who are not creators):

1. An intake form

2. Microsoft Teams (is that even possible?)

Thank you!

Hi @Jodi Jones 

Where did you find that description of the Contributor role for Jira Product Discovery (JPD)?

Please look here to learn what the roles can / cannot do, and possible options to allow a Contributor to create Ideas: https://support.atlassian.com/jira-product-discovery/docs/manage-your-team-product-access-new-experience/

Kind regards,
Bill

@Bill Sheboy - Project settings --> Access --> Click on the "Contributor" hyperlink in the Role column.

Thanks for that reference, and...if you scroll down and note the "Submit an idea" section, it shows one must be a Creator.  The alternative is to allow all Contributors the ability to add ideas or use a form.

Here are the references Atlassian provides for using a JSM form to create the idea:

In case anyone else comes across this looking for answers, as long as you have added a user to your site as a Contributor, they can Submit ideas, vote, comment, provide insights etc., they just cannot edit anything once created. 

The form for submitting is just the form behind the create button, but if easier, the chrome extension is also great for this.

Hey Jodi,

i use automation for this. I put a rule that if a checkbox is ticked at epic creation, it automatically creates an idea and put in a backlog bucket for triage.
