In order to prevent unnecessary calls to the backend exporting a data form as a pdf happens in two steps. First the pdf is initialised (via the Init PDF button), second the pdf is downloaded (via the Download PDF button).

It is important to note that initialising the pdf means that the data from the current data form is locked in the pdf. Changing the data in the form after initialising the pdf will not change the data in the pdf!

In order to update the pdf, save the changes in the data form and reload the page. Then you can initialise the pdf again. Now with the changed data.

  1. To edit a data form from a Jira issue go to the Data Forms section and click on the more button next to the name of the form you want to export and select Init PDF.

  2. You can press the Download PDF button after a few seconds.
