View, edit, and manage forms better in issue view

Improvements have been made to the issue view in Jira Service Management to make it easier for agents to review forms.

You can now expand forms to review and edit, then collapse them when you wish to focus on another area of an issue.

You’ll also find the ability to Make form internal now in the (...) menu on each form for easier access. Plus, we’ve made it more obvious which forms are internal only.
