      When using the global + Create button in Jira Cloud (Jira Software projects), I’d like to be able to choose a Jira Form / Advanced Form where one or more forms are associated to the target project and issue type.

      similar to the UI found https://indeed.atlassian.net/jira/forms/create but easier for end user to find or use by default. 

      Current behaviour

      • Click + Create → select Project and Issue type.
      • The dialog shows the default Create screen fields configured for that issue type.
      • Jira Forms exist for that project/issue type, but they’re only available:
        • Via the project’s Forms tab, or
        • Via a shared Form URL.
      • Internal docs explicitly say that Forms don’t replace the Create button and are an alternate submission path.

      Requested behaviour

      • When a project/issue type has one or more Forms configured, the Create Issue dialog should:
        • Detect that and surface a “Use a form” option, or
        • Provide a Form dropdown after project + issue type are chosen.
      • Selecting a Form would:
        • Switch the dialog to that Form layout instead of the raw Create screen, while
        • Still respecting the underlying required fields and field configuration.

      Why this matters

      • Many teams want to standardize intake for certain issue types, but users still naturally start from the + Create button.
      • Today we have to:
        • Educate users to ignore + Create and instead find/share the Form link, or
        • Maintain parallel experiences (Create dialog vs Form) that collect slightly different data.
      • Surfacing Forms directly in the global Create UI would:
        • Reduce mis‑routed / low‑quality tickets,
        • Make it easier for casual users (they don’t need to remember special URLs), and
        • Align with how forms are already tied to project + issue type.

      Nice‑to‑have details

      • Ability to mark a default form per issue type that the Create dialog uses automatically.
      • Ability to still “Show all fields” / fall back to the classic Create screen if needed.
