Almost correct but not exactly, it's nuanced. You can't absolutely force
certain project tags while also allowing users to add their own but you can
suggest some default projects and let the user make adjustments as needed.

More specifically, you can do either of the following:

   1. Pre-fill and lock the projects field, in which case the user cannot
   add or remove any project tags. You could also hide the projects field, in
   which case the behavior is the same but the user won't even see the
   projects that are being selected for them.
   2. Pre-fill the projects with a default (can be one project or several)
   but leave it unlocked. In this case the user can add projects to the list
   but they are also free to remove the default choices and replace them with
   whatever projects the user wants.

Thanks, Mukunda! This is great.

Do you happen to know if Alex is correct about this?

I created a custom form just to demonstrate the possibilities and encourage
people to request custom forms. Simply submit the example to request your
own custom form:

Re: [teampractices] [ANY] Looking for live example of a Phabricator custom form

[Alex Monk]

To get a custom form for anything it should go through that project, yes.

You can require certain projects for all task creations going through your
creation form, but then the user can't add any extra projects themselves
(AFAIK).

You should be able to set the default task description to some helpful
template, but reproduction steps are not always required for bug reports.

Re: [teampractices] [ANY] Looking for live example of a Phabricator custom form

[David Strine]

All task creation forms are custom forms. There are many available to the
average user

here are some:
[image: Inline image 1]

The form visibility can be controlled by membership of a project. That
keeps them out of the UI of the general user (which is great!).

I got a special, restricted form for fr-tech by creating a task in the
#phabricator project.

I never saw replies to this. I thought forms were a hotly-requested
feature. Are teams using them? If not, are there implementation problems,
or is it just a matter of not having the time to get to it yet?
