Forms in Jira Software Projects - what determines what fields can be added to a form?

Rees, Ian

I am using the new Forms feature in Jira Software.  When I am creating a form for a Story, in the fields I can add to my form is a Custom Field called Story Points.  However, that field is not even on the Screen for creating, editing or viewing a Story in the Project that I am creating the form in.

I can't see what determines what fields can be added to a Form.  Does anybody know ?

 

I have done some further testing and if I remove a field from a Screen then it disappears from thee fields I can add to a Form - however, this custom field Story Points, which is not in any of the create, view or edit screens, still appears as an optional field for the Form. Is that just a bug ?

Hi @Rees, Ian , reasonable question. I suspect that any system fields will always be available. Custom fields created by you behave as you observed. You can further test this theory with another system field.
