What would you like to see in the Forms Group?

Hi Community Leaders! 

Thanks so much for joining the Group. As I mentioned in the Welcome post, the purpose of this group is to bring as much of the forms-related discussion into one place so it's easy to find.

FAQs coming soon

We're preparing a Forms FAQ post for the group. Here's a sneak peek at the questions we have so far:

• Do forms replace existing request types?
• Does the form builder use Jira fields?
• Does the form builder have its own field types?
• How do Data Connections work?
• When will form automation be released?

What else can we answer for you?

What questions do you have about forms? Ask in the comments below 👇

I'll answer in the comments and we'll include them in the FAQ page to help the rest of the community get up to speed quickly.

I am looking forward to all of this @Peter Preston . The other one I would like to see addressed is migration from ProForma to Jira Forms for those who have quite a lot of that built already. Timing, what that will look like and what, if anything will break would be helpful to know.

[Nic Brough -Adaptavist-]

I've not had it come up (yet), but migration feels like a big thing for a lot of us!

[Jimmy Seddon]

Thanks @Peter Preston!

I know you have said that you have an FAQ coming for "When will form automation be released".  Is there anything thing else you can share about the roadmap plans for forms (even at a high level) or somewhere it's posted that we can check in with every once in a while?

[Stuart Capel - London]

I second any intel you can share with regards to roadmap, even if it's only indicative and you don't want to tie yourself down

[Peter Preston]

Just added a comment to another post re: Automation -- we plan to release it in the next couple of months, but I'm still not able to share an exact date.

As for the roadmap, I'm hoping to share more of that here in the Forms Group. The integration has been our primary goal/focus, which I'm sure you appreciate. There are exciting things planned and I'm keen to share them as soon as I'm allowed :) 

Thanks for commenting and please keep the feedback, questions, comments coming!

Hi!! 

Thank you @Peter Preston for making this possible, you mentioned some of the questions in the post that I wanted to ask, I'm mentioning all the questions that I have in my mind. 

• Does the form builder have its own field types?
• How do Data Connections work?
• Can we clone the form to the Jira software project as well? Like currently I'm using "ADD ISSUE ON TRANSITION" App to clone fields, can this be done using this tool as well?
• JSM is Company managed and JS is Team managed. 

Thanks in advance!! 

[Taranjeet Singh]

@Peter Preston Thanks for this post! I think this post and the comments from other leaders have covered almost all the questions I have for now related to the new Form Builder in JSM Cloud.

I look forward to the Forms FAQs post so that I can get more details and ask any follow-up questions.

[Peter Preston]

Thanks for the comments, all. I'll do my best to include and address this stuff in the FAQ post. That can be a living post that we keep up to date as we go.

Shout out to @Josh Hammond and @Jack Brickey for joining the group. Welcome!
