Is there a different way to get data from a form without the use of project fields?

New to Jira, 

I figured out a way to automate when a user submitted a form it sends out an email using project fields. I created a field in my project for ex) getFruit, and then its a drop down type with choices Apple Bananas etc. In the send Email portion in automation, I can write {{issue.getFruit.value}} and it will get whatever the user selected in their submitted form. However, I just found out that theres a limit to 50 fields I can create. Is there a way I can extract data from a form without having to make custom fields?

Hi @Khuong Nguyen

Welcome to Atlassian Community!

If your automation triggers on Forms submitted you can use {{forms}} to get the field values. Please have a look at this KB for more information. If your automation is triggering on something else you would have to use the REST API to get the form answers, and it complicate things a bit more since you first have to get the form UUID.
