Is it possible to pre-populate "Project Form" values with URL?

[Mamta Choudhary]

Example, I have a form, which forms URL like

https://jira.atlassian.net/jira/software/c/projects/{projectKey}/forms/form/direct/6/35

 and has Summary and Description field.

I am trying to create URL which can set the values to this fields, like https://jira.atlassian.net/jira/software/c/projects/{projectKey}/forms/form/direct/6/35?summary=test&description=test

I followed JSDSERVER-4049 , but it is not working, I don't see the values being set to this parameters.

In one of the community discussion (here), looks like we have limitation with form, as values passed in url are getting overridden by the default values set in form itself.

By any chance, anyone got a workaround here?

Thanks,

Is there any update for this problem?

Hey @Mamta Choudhary 

Welcome to community!

I am confused. How is it possible that you are using forms feature on a software project (i see in the url)?

Forms is currently available only to JSM and JWM projects.  And you can use the pre-fill text feature of the form itself instead of manipulating the url.

Thanks Fazila for your response.

Sorry, not really sure on the first question, but that is how it looks for us.

For the suggestion, yeah we actually tried "pre-fill" text, but our requirement is to send dynamic values instead of static values, with pre-fill option we are able to set only static values.

Basically, the links will be generated in another platform, so what we are expecting is, to send data in url as query params and user just need to submit the form, instead of entering the inputs manually in JIRA form.

Like similar to what is shared in another community article (here).

Thanks,

Hi @Mamta Choudhary 

The first question is actually about you using forms in a software project as the builtin forms feature is not available for jira software yet.

https://jira.atlassian.net/jira/software/c/projects/{projectKey}/forms/form/direct/6/35

Are you using any plugins to bring this feature to jira software?

AFAIK it is not possible to manipulate the form's fields via url as it gets overwritten when the form loads.
