Pulling Data from Forms

[Blake Brixton]

I am working with my company's IT contact to create a new project in Jira. I would like to utilize the forms feature. We would like to pull the data from multiple submitted forms into a report or dashboard.  However, my contact is unsure of how to do it.

@Blake Brixton -

To pull form's data you can use Form's REST APIs, here is the link to access the REST API documentation - https://thinktilt.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/PFDEV/pages/2026668074/v1.2.0+API+Documentation.

However, based on my understanding that Form's REST APIs are currently available for Jira DC/Server envs only and not yet available for Jira/JSM Cloud env. 

In addition even for the on-prems envs, please note that Form (prior known as Proforma, it is acquired by Atlassian not too long ago), its APIs has not been incorporated/integrated into Atlassian's Jira/JSM REST APIs setup as of now.  So,you will not be able to pull form's data by using the normal Jira/JSM REST APIs call.

I would recommend you to contact Atlassian Support (https://support.atlassian.com) to find out if they have any newer update on Proforma REST APIs readiness for Jira/JSM Cloud env.

Sorry.

Hi Joseph, my team has the same request to pull data from a form to feed a dashboard. Is this answer from a few months ago still relevant or have these been any changes to either forms or dashboards that could help us further? Thanks in advance!

Did this ever get progressed?

They've got experimental APIs now to manipulate forms for JSM Cloud, at least.

So they bought a forms builder that doesn't allow you to collect data from the form fields to use for automation?  Who's the genius that signed that check?

They've got an experimental REST API to manipulate forms data now in JSM Cloud, at least.  https://developer.atlassian.com/cloud/forms/rest/api-group-forms-on-issue/#api-group-forms-on-issue  Prior to that you could access it via the issue's properties but I always found that a bit kludgey.
