hi all,

 

Is there a possibility to enforce a naming convention for the summary when using Forms in Jira Cloud?
the first part of the to be created issue is part of the epic name it is linked to:

epic name= xxxx - yyyy

issue name should be: xxxx - zzzz


We use Forms to help people, who don't work regurarly in jira, to quickly create an issue.
Thanks for your help!

Hi @barbara foblets, yes, it's possible, but not directly with Jira Forms alone. The best approach depends on how strictly you want to enforce the naming convention. 

I would suggest using Jira automation for this.
