Is it possible to customize the fields shown at the CreateIssue.jspa URL?

Ramen Booko October 23, 2024

So to make a long story short:

  • we're using Jira 9.4.x in data center
  • our company does not have Jira Service Management
  • our company does not allow us to customize any of our screens or fields in Jira, since it's being managed for numerous teams

My goal

Have a few URLs displayed on a Confluence page for users to submit different issues/bugs/etc to our team. Depending on which URL our users click, it'll take them to the CreateIssue.jspa URL with a pre-populated project key, issue type, and some other fields pre-populated using a URL such as:

https://jira.site.internal/secure/CreateIssue.jspa?issuetype=1&pid=123&summary=text_here

Problem

This URL method works but it displays ALL fields to the end-user. I would prefer to only display relevant fields when they reach the CreateIssue.jspa page.

Next steps + potential solutions?

I have noticed that you can customize the fields visible when you actually click the Create button at the top nav bar, and then you get the Create Issue modal.

So, does anyone know if it's possible to do this all within a URL? Perhaps it's at a different URL, or maybe requires a different parameter to be passed?

Thanks in advance, and hopefully my question makes sense.

Welcome to the community @Ramen Booko 

If I understand correctly, you're trying to create issues using direct HTML links, and the creation screen contains fields that you do not want to be displayed. Is it that you only want the pre-populated fields to be displayed on the screen that users land on?

That would be a question of screen schemes for issue types specified in the URL with the issuetype parameter. If you can't create a screen scheme for specific issue types, I think you might be stuck.

Yeah, I was afraid that would be the answer. Is it possible to make use of the quick create modal that pops up when you click the Create (or 'c') button in Jira? Can't seem to find the URL to use for this. Not sure if it's possible.

I would need to hack at that to see if it's possible. Even if it were feasible, there's a good chance it wouldn't be in the future.
