Ticket Forms
Ticket forms allow an admin to define a subset of ticket fields for display to both agents and end users. Accounts are limited to 300 ticket forms.
Ticket forms are supported on Suite Growth plans and above, as well as on Support Enterprise plans.
For legacy accounts, ticket forms are only available on Enterprise accounts or accounts with the Productivity Pack add-on.
