Depending on your plan type, you may have access to a single ticket form or multiple ticket forms. A ticket form is a set of predefined ticket fields which determines the data a ticket contains.
A ticket form controls how these ticket fields appear in a ticket. You can edit a ticket form by adding and removing custom fields and rearranging the order in which these fields appear in a ticket. You can also edit ticket forms by adding, editing, and removing conditional ticket fields.
If your plan type has multiple ticket forms, you have additional options when editing and managing your forms. To learn more about these options, see Creating ticket forms.
This article contains the following topics:

Can system field names in ticket forms be edited? I want to edit "Subject" to "Problem summary" so people type in the problem keywords and are able to get relevant help center article suggestions based on the keywords before even creating the ticket. With "Subject" most people treat it as an email subject line and write "Hello" or similar messages.

Unfortunately, the Subject field cannot be edited. This is one of the Non-editable fields as mentioned here.

How can multiple users edit a form? I want to do chain approval , but allow each user to make edits before forwarding or replying?

Do you mean only allow certain agents to have permission to edit a ticket form?
If yes you can consider creating a custom role for certain agents and give them access to edit the ticket form

If this is not what you referring to just reply and tell us more about your question.
