Just getting started with forms? Review the article here to get you caught up.
Hive forms has become even more powerful with the introduction of dynamic fields.
Dynamic Users
Dynamic users can automatically assign a member of your team to the action card that is created when a form is submitted. Once a form is submitted, that user is notified that they have been assigned a new action. When editing the field, be sure to click "Map to action assignee" to automatically assign the user to the card.
Only members of the project in which the form is being directed to will be available in the user dropdown list. For example, if I have a form being directed to a shared project only available to myself and another coworker, we are the only two users who will be available for selection in the dropdown. This is to protect project membership and assignment as you are only able to be assigned actions within projects that you are a member of.
Dynamic Projects
Dynamic Project Question allows you to map the action card to a selected project or automatically link the action card to a project.
If the “Map to project” option is selected, the submission will create the action card in the selected project within the Dynamic Project Question.
If the “Map to linked projects” option is selected, the submission will create the action card in the project selected at the bottom of the form, but the action card will be linked to the chosen project.
*Note - You must make sure the Form owner is part of the project you want to choose since the project you're searching for won't be in the dropdown if the Form owner is not part of the project.
Dynamic Labels
With dynamic labels, the form submitter can select which label their form relates to. The action is then auto-labeled for the team that receives the request. When editing the field, select "Map to label". Then in the 'Available labels' drop-down, choose the labels that will be available for selection in this form.
Once complete, the user will be able to choose their assignee, project, and label(s) when submitting a form, and those fields will map directly back to Hive.
Dynamic Custom Fields
You can also have dynamic custom fields in your form. You can choose between project and action custom fields.
If you go for action custom fields, don't forget to select 'Map it to action custom field' so that the response automatically fills in the custom field in the resulting action card.
Dynamic Priorities
Finally, you may select the Dynamic Priorities question type, to display a drop-down list of the action card priorities in the workspace to the form submitter. You should map the answer to the priorities field, as shown here:
On the form, the question appears like this:
