Request a New Part

The Morningstar Design System can’t grow without your input. If you have an idea or a need for a new component, Constant, or feature, please create a JIRA story so we can start a conversation. Please use the following steps to create your request:

1. Create a new request using this JIRA ticket template.
2. Post the issue title and a link to your request on Slack in either the #mds-design or #mds-engineering channel.

The System must provide the highest shared value to all product teams. Requests for new features should be relevant to three or more product teams to qualify for consideration. Identifying other teams with a shared need for the proposed feature or enhancement helps determine requirements and define priority. The #mds-design and #mds-engineering Slack channels are a great place to connect with other teams to gauge shared need.

A System team member or the segment owner will review all requests. The System team and/or segment owner will confirm that you’ve sufficiently detailed the proposal and provide initial feedback. A triaging member may also solicit initial feedback from community members likely to have a strong opinion on the topic.

Within one to two weeks, the System team and segment owner will collaborate with you to determine if the request can be accommodated. Collaboration can include email (for clarifications and more details), Slack discussion, and face-to-face meetings.
