Dynamic Screen Rules
Build Jira forms that adapt to context, user role, and workflow state.
Show, hide, lock, validate, and auto-fill fields in real-time. Keep forms short, enforce data quality, and eliminate repetitive setup without code.
Problems this app solves
Dynamic Screen Rules addresses the core friction points teams hit with static Jira forms.
Overly long forms
Remove irrelevant fields and keep issue screens focused so users can complete tasks faster.
Inconsistent data quality
Apply dynamic required fields and validation rules to capture complete, policy-compliant data.
Manual data entry
Pre-fill defaults with Smart Values, field references, and date calculations to reduce repetitive work.
Confusing dropdowns
Limit options by context to prevent invalid selections and improve consistency across teams.

Recommended rollout order for most teams: simplify forms, automate defaults, then enforce quality checks.
Show only fields that matter
Use conditional visibility to reveal fields only for relevant cases, based on issue type, priority, component, or user context.
Forms are shorter and easier to complete, so users create issues faster with fewer mistakes.
Control field behavior with advanced conditions
Show or hide fields, make them required, set read-only, or apply smart actions using complex conditions based on field values, user roles, and workflow status.
Teams enforce the right behavior at the right moment, reduce manual errors, and keep forms consistent without custom scripts.
Auto-fill smart defaults
Use Set Field Value on Create and Transition screens with expressions like nextMonday(), currentUser(), date math, and field references.
Teams eliminate repetitive typing and keep values consistent without relying on static defaults.
Enforce quality before submit and transition
Apply required rules and real-time validations based on dynamic context, including other field values, user permissions, groups, and current workflow status.
Teams enforce accurate data exactly when needed, reduce invalid transitions, and keep handoffs consistent across roles and responsibilities.
