How to create an issue in jira core project (Process managment) when employee complete the form

Question

Hi,

I am newbie to Jira - started working with Jira not long ago. After successful implementation of Confluence last month, my manager wanted me to explore jira core for document review (process management).

I wanted to build policy management system in Jira core for governance department.
Following is the workflow of  governance department:

* Employee fill form (Request to develop policy)
* Policy allocated to owner/author
* Draft policy prepared
* Draft sent to user group for review
* User group changes made
* Policy sent to Governance for review
* Suggested changes advised to owner by Governance
* Amended policy sent back to Governance by owner
* Governance distributes policy to wider community (Faculty/Faculty Executive or as determined by owner) for feedback
* Governance sends summary of feedback to owner
* Final policy submitted by owner to Governance for approval
* Governance sends to delegated approving authority for sign-off
* Governance posts approved policy on intranet
* Document repository holds approved current and historical versions of all policies
* Document repository has keyword search functionality + A-Z listing of all policies
* Document repository holds resource documents (e.g. policy template, policy writing guide, policy communication guide, policy dictionary, etc.)

I know it is possible to achieve this by creating workflow in Jira Core but not sure how to initiate a task (document review) by collecting request via form (step 1).

Could someone please guide me I googled, watched Youtube videos, there is no information available but they are some  add-on available not sure if that is the solution!

@Nic Brough -Adaptavist- using form in Confluence is I want to avoid as my company has to but licence for form plugin as well and the development work. I am not expert enough to do development in Jira and confluence.

I explore issue collector further and share my findings with you and meantime if you come across better solution please do share thanks..'

An issue collector would bypass the usage of a form in Confluence, as it has its own fields to pass to Jira, unrelated to the content of the Confluence page.

It is a very good idea, if you can get all the fields in there in a way that visually works for your users, and it requires no coding beyond a copy and paste into your Confluence space (Jira generates most of the code for you)!

If you do want to do this with a form, then you'll want to look up Confluence development and the Jira REST API.  But I would certainly explore the issue collector option before spending any time on that!
