Can you add white space between fields?

[Emily Bischoff]

I need to add white space between fields.

@Emily Bischoff -

Welcome to the community.  Out of the box, you cannot add white space (i.e. additional line breaks) between fields.  You can control the layout if you include FORM into your Request Type screen design if needed.

The question is why you want to implement more white spaces between fields?  Please advise

Hope this helps.

The fields are very hard to read without additional white space.

Unfortunately, it is nothing one can change the layout unless with third party add-on.

However, FORMS (previously named Proforma) for Data Center is still a paid add-on which you can get it from Marketplace - https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1215833/proforma-forms-checklist-for-jira?hosting=datacenter&tab=overview

The same add-on is no longer a paid add-on from Atlassian Cloud env.

Hope this helps.

@Emily Bischoff this is a bit of an ugly hack but if you are working with what you got then it might work.

In the Request Type form, you can add \\ to the description of each custom field and this acts as a paragraph break.

Thank you for this @Megan Makowiecka 

I tried it initially with just the single set of "\\"  and it didn't force a line

When I added some text after the "\\" it pushed the text to the line below

I then tried adding "\\ \\" to the end of the description and it forced a single line for spacing

It then displays in the request type/form with a line return/spacing

I don't see an option in our instance for forms. Is it available on Data Center? We are running Jira 9.15.1.

@Emily Bischoff ,

If you use Forms, to build request types, you should be able to achieve your requirements.
