    How to create a form to create a Jira issue from Confluence —

    What you will build

    A Confluence form that creates a Jira issue and saves the new issue key back to the submitted record.

    About this example

    Two IFTTT rules run in sequence: the first creates the issue through a configured web-service connection; the second updates the ConfiForms record with the returned key.

    Before you start

    Use ConfiForms on a Cloud test page and a Jira test project. An app administrator must configure the Jira connection, and its account must be allowed to create the chosen issue type. Adapt the project, issue type, required fields and connection references in the example.

    Build it step by step

    1. Define summary as Text, description as Textarea and jiraKey as a Jira field. Use the field rule shown below to hide the key for new records.
    2. Add a registration control for the form. Configure and select your Jira web-service connection in ConfiForms configuration.
    3. Add an onCreated IFTTT rule with action Create JIRA Issue. Name its result JI and adapt the JSON payload to your Jira project. Keep JSON escaping on user-entered values.
    4. After it, add an onCreated rule with action Create ConfiForms Entry and mapping entryId=[entry.id]&jiraKey=[iftttResult_JI.key].
    5. Display the saved records in a TableView, publish the page and submit one test issue.

    Check the result

    Check that exactly one issue was created with the expected summary and description. Confirm that the same issue key is stored in the ConfiForms record and remains after reloading. If creation fails, check the connection permissions, Jira’s required fields and the action error before retrying.
