Retrieves a list of form definitions for the iTwin with the given ID. By default this retrieves only Approved form definitions; set the status parameter to any or another status to override this.
Note that in order to create an issue, it must be associated with the ID of one of these form definitions (through the 'formId' property in the 'Create issue' request body). This API cannot be used to create or edit form definitions. They can only be created/edited/imported by project administrators through the Bentley Form Manager webapp, which is accessible at https://connect-formmanager.bentley.com/designer/#/your-itwin-id (replace your-itwin-id with your actual project or iTwin ID). If you call this endpoint with the Prefer header set to return=representation, then any form definitions in the response that you have permission to edit will include a link you can follow to edit their layout in the Form Manager webapp.
Note that the 'iTwinId' query string parameter is required. It must be a valid iTwin or project GUID to get form definitions from. Older clients can continue to use 'projectId' as an alias for 'iTwinId'.
Authentication
Requires Authorization header with valid Bearer token for scope itwin-platform.
For more documentation on authorization and how to get access token visit OAUTH2 Authorization page.
Request parameters
The GUID of the iTwin or project to get form definitions for. (Note: projectId is also accepted as an alias for this parameter.)
The issue type to get form definitions for. Omit to get all form definitions, regardless of type.
If present, filters the results to only include form definitions with the given string (case-insensitive) in their names.
Filters form definitions by their status (i.e., whether they are ready for use). Options are 'Draft', 'Approved', 'Maintenance', or 'Archived' to only get form definitions with the given status, or 'any' to get form definitions regardless of status. Default is 'Approved'.
Request headers
Chooses whether to get a summary of each form definition (return=minimal) or more properties (return=representation)
OAuth access token with itwin-platform scope
Setting to application/vnd.bentley.itwin-platform.v1+json is recommended.
