Feature Request - available for preset default value in Jira Space Form

[Wei Sheng Foo]

All our projects are created using a standardised project template with a common set of workflows and fields. However, some projects do not require most of these fields.

In our on-premises environment, we used the CreateIssueDetails URL with query parameters to pre-populate fields. This allowed us to provide a customised creation form containing only the fields relevant to each application. However, in Jira Cloud, the CreateIssueDetails screen displays all fields configured for the Create screen instead of showing only the required fields and preset values.

We have found an alternative using space forms, which allows us to create customised forms by dragging and dropping the required fields. However, space forms do not currently support preset default values, making the process less streamlined for our users.

We understand that URL-based field pre-population and post-creation automation may serve as alternative solutions. However, we do not consider these to be sustainable or user-friendly approaches in the long term.

Could the Atlassian team please provide an update on whether support for preset default values in space forms is planned and, if so, when it is expected to become available?

Hello @Wei Sheng Foo 

I understand why you are raising this, and your feedback is absolutely valid.

Just to clarify the process, especially for Enterprise customers: the best way to submit a feature request is through Atlassian Support. If they agree that the request should be considered as a product improvement, they can create or link the corresponding feature request in JAC.

Here in the Community, we are users just like you, so unfortunately we do not have access to Atlassian’s internal product roadmap or feature-request process.

I know that can feel a bit indirect, but going through Support gives your request the best chance of being properly reviewed and tracked.

By the way your problem are already tracked here [JRACLOUD-92229] Form field doesn't carry the default value set in the linked Jira fields - Create and track feature requests for Atlassian products.

I recommend voting on it and following it.

Best,

Arek🤠
