Delete a Proforma Form through automation

Matt Steadman_pjaqbe

I know that you can create a Proforma Form through automation. Can you delete a form through automation?

We have a workflow step that if entered into, the form is no longer relevant. Is there a way to have that form delete without the user manually having to do so?

Thanks

Hi Matt,

There isn't a way to automate that right now. We've investigated this with Automation and scripts, but don't have a workaround yet. To my knowledge, there isn't an option for this in the API Documentation via REST API either.

I've added this to our internal product board and let the product manager know. If I have any updates on this I'll holler back at you.

Thanks,

Peter

UPDATE: Something else to consider here is that you may not need the info captured in the form once the issue transitions to a certain status, but would there be any audit concerns?

@Peter Preston - is there an update on this?

BTW - my use case is that I want to replace an existing form to ensure that the issue has the latest version of the form. So I was going to just delete it then the next time the form is added, it will be the latest version of the form.

Thanks for your question, @David Stokes

I may not fully understand the use case, but would updating the original form work instead of replacing the form entirely?

Or are you saying that the form template (i.e.: the questions you're asking) itself needs to be updated?

Hi @Peter Preston

My understanding is when a form is added to a Jira record, it's the form as it was at that point in time. If I go and modify that form, eg: add some more fields, if I go into that same Jira record, the form will not have those extra fields. So in that case I need to delete the form and add it manually in order to get to those extra fields.

Thanks
David
