Linking ProForma fields to Jira fields

Form fields can be linked to Jira fields (standard or custom), making the data available for reports and JQL queries, for triggering automation, including in scripts or organizing a queue. The value entered in the form field will populate the Jira field and vice versa.

If a form has been Submitted, then the linked field on the form will not change, unless the form gets reopened. This allows ProForma to be used as a system of record. You can also Lock the form to further restrict access.

Making a Field Available for Linking

Currently, ProForma uses the most recently created issue as the template issue type to determine what fields can be linked to. If the field you wish to link to is not listed in the dropdown, temporarily create an issue of the desired issue type. Then return immediately to the form builder and edit your form template. The desired field should now be included as option to link to. Do not delete the issue you created, as this can cause the fields to become unlinked.

Note that while this method should work in most cases, it will not work for the following field types:

• 添付ファイル

• Custom cascading choice lists (single or multiple)

• Custom next-gen people fields

• 期限

• ラベル 

• Any 3rd party custom fields (ProForma does not currently integrate with DEISER ProFields. Integration with Assets fields is in development.)

Limitations of Linked User Lookup Fields

ProForma user picker field that is linked to a Jira user picker field won't reflect any constraints (filtering to specific groups) that exist on the Jira field. This limitation will be addressed in future development.
