Edit value from form using automation

[Maxime Haddad]

Hello !

Atlassian just released this new way of accessing form data : 

https://support.atlassian.com/jira-service-management-cloud/docs/access-smart-values-for-forms-and-form-fields/

But is there a way to directly edit a value inside a form or can we just access the data and copy it inside another field ?

Thank you !

Hi @Maxime Haddad,

Welcome to Atlassian Community!

The Forms smart values are only for copying the data from the form and then act on it, it is not for updating the form answers. Currently the only way you can edit the answers is by manually do it in the form, it cannot be done via automaton or REST API.
