# Submit a feature idea
## How to submit a feature idea?
1. Login to the [OpenProject community platform](https://community.openproject.com/login).
2. Open the [feature create form](https://community.openproject.com/projects/openproject/work_packages/create_new?type=6).
3. Add a subject and detailed description.
4. Attach a file (optional).
5. Set version to "Wish List".
6. Press Create.
## Feature idea guideline
### Subject
* The subject of the feature request should be as concise and crisp as possible.
**Example:**
> [Backlogs] Grey out status fields in task board which cannot be used by role
### Description
* The feature description should be concise and expressive.
* Mention the reason why the change is relevant. Describe the associated use case.
* Add acceptance criteria for clarification.
* Describe the current behavior if it is to be changed by the request.
* Using the following (user story) format, describe the intent behind a new feature request:
**Example:**
> AS an OpenProject user
> I WANT to only show the allowed status fields as active for which a status transition is allowed based on the workflow
> SO THAT I am clearly aware which status transitions are allowed before doing them.
### Acceptance criteria
* State and detail the requirements in the acceptance criteria.
**Example:**
> * In the task board only show the status allowed for the role the user has in the project as active.
> * The status fields which are inactive should have e.g. a grey background to make clear that a user cannot use them.
### Current behavior
* If the feature request is changing existing behavior, briefly explain the current behavior.
**Example:**
> Currently, all status transitions set for a type are displayed as active (independent of the allowed status transitions defined by the workflow).
### Wireframes / Screenshots
* If the request is visual, it is helpful to add a short wireframe or a screenshot in which changes are highlighted.
* The wireframe or screenshot can be attached as a file and can be integrated in the description with the following syntax: "!Name_of_screenshot.png!" (without quotation marks)
(Notice: Name_of_screenshot should be replaced with the respective name of the file. The file ending (here: .png) has to be adjusted to the appropriate file type of the screenshot.)
