Dynamic Forms in Software Projects

[Mathew Lederman]

Does anybody have an understanding if/when forms in Software projects will support dynamic logic? 

According to https://community.atlassian.com/forums/Jira-articles/A-new-way-to-manage-intake-in-Jira/ba-p/2856309, it was supposed to be available 'in the coming months' following the article release in January.

Hi @Mathew Lederman

The Forms feature has been available on Jira Cloud for a while, and you might need to enable it manually within the Project Settings >  Features > Forms if it is not enabled yet.

Thank you.

Perfect thanks! The conditionally show form fields is what I couldn't find in Jira or the documentation.

Hi @Mathew Lederman 

Atlassian has been rolling out native form improvements gradually, but dynamic/conditional logic in Software projects hasn't arrived yet. It's still primarily a JSM feature at this point. I'd recommend keeping an eye on the Jira release notes or the Atlassian roadmap for updates on when this might become available. 

If you're looking to build dynamic forms right now in Jira Software, Smart Forms for Jira (Marketplace app) might be worth a look.

It allows you to:

• ✅ Add conditional field logic (show/hide fields or sections)

• ✅ Use forms without creating custom fields

• ✅ Attach forms directly to Jira issues or trigger them automatically

• ✅ Share forms with external users or teams

• ✅ Auto-create or update Jira issues based on responses

It basically brings JSM-like form flexibility to any Jira project, so you can streamline intake without waiting on Atlassian’s roadmap.
