How to make a specific name automatically appear in dropdown menu in a form

[Adam Bass]

I have a form that include a dropdown menu for users to select a job title. What I need to accomplish is to make a specific job title appear in the dropdown menu selection rather than having to enter it manually. This will avoid users from misspelling the title and makes this commonly used title automatically appear with other common titles.

@Adam Bass -

If you are referring to the FORMS component setup, then it has to be a field with data type of dropdown list/checkboxes etc..  Where the options listing are controlled from the backend by JSM/Jira admins.

End users will be selecting the option(s) from the field and not able to enter in option manually because the field data type.

Hope this makes sense  or I am missing what you are trying to ask?

Best, Joseph

Thank you for taking time to reply Joseph.

I actually found out there is a limit of 50 objects that the Forms can show and they appear alphabetically, after that you must enter the object/titles manually. We have over 100 objects. This is a limitation of the Jira object picker so the forms do not load 1000's of objects and performance is not degraded. The workaround I will use is just to update the object name so it fits within the first 50. Hope this helps someone else.
