Welcome to the 101 guide! This is a hands-on tutorial.

You'll be setting up your own Create Issue-forms on Confluence pages and trying them out.

While using "Create Issue"-Forms you have to take some considerations about permissions

The User who views a page with the Issue Forms – create form must have the Create Issue permission within the specified Jira project.

Otherwise Jira won't allow the creation of issues.

Lets check the Application Link - Precondition...

Before you begin: To check the Application Link configuration, you must log in with Confluence Admin permissions.

Click the cog icon at top right of the screen and select Confluence Admin.
The Administration Console is displayed.
In the Administration section, click Application Links
The List must contain one Application Link to a JIRA instance
Click the edit icon
The Outgoing/Incoming Connections should be "OAuth (impersonation)" (At least the Outgoing/Incoming Connections must be "OAuth")

Set up a simple Jira Project

You can use an existing project or create a new one. We will use a simple Task Management project for this 101.

Before you begin: To create a Jira Project, you must log in to your Jira instance with Jira Admin permissions.

Login to your Jira instance.
Click Projects => Create project.
Select Task management.
Click next till you can specify the Name and Key and enter these values:
Name Issue Forms 101
Key IF
Project Lead your user
Switch to the Project settings and select Screens.
Click on the JINC: Task Management Create Issue Screen and remove the following fields from the Screen:

Now, this is what the Create Issue dialog should look like.
