Migration to cloud

Dynamic Forms Cloud uses different configuration methods than Dynamic Forms, therefore there’s no automated process at this point to migrate your configuration from Jira Server.

Most functionalities can be recreated in Dynamic Forms Cloud manually. The main difference is that Dynamic Forms Server provides embedded custom fields, while in Dynamic Forms Cloud you need to add such custom fields manually (or use already-existing fields).

Comparison

Visibility

DC

In DC, to configure field’s visibility you have to add a custom field that was provided by Dynamic Forms.

Then, you have to go to Manage Apps>Dynamic Forms>Fields Visibility to configure it. Go to the DF Fields visibility configuration and select the custom field that was added to the screen. Set related fields, that will be displayed in the form after selecting a specific option of a dynamic field.

Cloud

To recreate your settings in Dynamic Forms Cloud it’s best to create identical fields (with the same name) as in your DC environment. For each of these fields follow the steps below to recreate your configuration:

1. In Cloud you also need to add a custom field (or use an already-existing field such as description), but it’s just a Jira custom field (see supported fields).

   

2. Go to Project Settings>Dynamic Forms.

3. Select the field that you want to hide and set a condition based on a field that has been added to the screen.

4. Add the Show field action.

5. Configure the action by adding a condition block.

   

For a detailed configuration see Show field and Configuration.

Set Value/Mapper

DC

In DC you create conditions for set values with mapper (Manage Apps>Dynamic Forms>Mapper).

1. Add a mapper custom field provided with Dynamic Forms.

   

2. Create a configuration - which values are set under which conditions.

   

Refer to respective documentation for details.
