Creating a template in Yandex Forms (beta)
In the beta version of the new Yandex Tracker interface, we added an embedded Yandex Forms form builder. You can use the builder to create forms inside your queue and use the forms as templates for your issues.
Forms are available to all users who have a right to create issues in the queue. A list of forms is shown on the issue creation page.
Note
By default, form management is only available to the queue owner and the Tracker administrator. For the users to be able to create or edit forms, grant to them access to edit the queue settings.
Create a form
Forms that were created by the Yandex Forms embedded builder, are used as templates for creating issues. You can use forms to add questions: the answers to the questions will be passed to the issue using variables in the integration settings.
Tip
The embedded form builder supports only the main types of questions and integration settings. To edit the appearance of a form, add additional prompts, and configure their display logic, use the full version of the form constructor Yandex Forms.
