Copy Dynamic Fields

This section explains how to copy Dynamic Fields with configurations

To make the process of creating Dynamic Forms fast and straightforward, Extension for Jira Service Management lets you copy the configuration of a non-dynamic field and transfer it to the section with the fields that are dynamic. You can also copy Dynamic Fields and their configurations (Conditions and Validators) to be transferred between different Dynamic Forms.

Info

As any change in a request type is automatically saved and visible on the Customer Portal, we recommend to keep request forms Hidden from portal while modifying them.

Copy non-dynamic fields into Dynamic Fields

There are two ways to copy non-dynamic fields from the Fields Defined in Request Type section into Dynamic Fields within one request type.

Steps

  1. In Project Settings > Customer form extension > Dynamic Fields, go to the desired request type and click Copy fields with configuration.
  2. Select from this request type. A dialog box window appears.
