Bahmni team uses Atlassian JIRA to tracks bugs and features. If you wish to submit a feature request, the recommendation is:

  1. Create a discussion thread on Bahmni Talk Forum here: https://talk.openmrs.org/c/software/bahmni/36 . This will allow for discussion / confirmation from community members and relevant feedback. Alternatively, you can also come on Bahmni slack chat and suggest the topic on #community channel. You will need to create a free OpenMRS userID for posting on Talk forum.

  2. Create a ticket in Jira (Product Team Board): https://bahmni.atlassian.net/jira/software/c/projects/BAH/boards/46 . Ensure you apply the label 'product-team' to the ticket. You will need to create a free Atlassian account to log into JIRA.
