📝 Exporting JSM Form Configuration

Question

Hi Atlassian Community! 👋

I'm looking to export the configuration of JSM Forms from one site to import it into another. Ideally, I'd like to do this using the REST API if that's possible, but I'm open to any other solutions if they work better for migrating form settings.

Specifically, I'm hoping to:

* Export the full structure and configuration of the JSM forms (including fields, layout, and settings).
* Import or recreate the form in another JSM instance using the exported data.

Is there an API endpoint or other recommended method to facilitate this type of configuration export/import between sites? Thanks for any tips!

FYI As of late 2024, Atlassian has killed the Forms API you mentioned, that third parties such as deep clone use.
The good news is, they did it to enable form migration in the future. So the gaping hole in their migration tools seems to be a priority for them.

Hi @[deleted]

Not out of the box.

It seems there is an API to get that information as mentioned here:

https://developer.atlassian.com/cloud/forms/guides/export-forms/

https://developer.atlassian.com/cloud/forms/rest/api-group-forms-export/#api-export-post

Or a plugin for that:

https://marketplace.atlassian.com/search?query=copy%20project%20form

This one seems to copy forms:

Hope that helps!
