About

The Issue Templates for Jira Cloud app is designed to improve space management efficiency within Jira. By allowing users to create and utilize predefined templates for work items, this application addresses the common challenges of repetitive data entry and inconsistency in work item creation.

With the Issue Templates for Jira Cloud app, teams can easily standardize their processes, ensuring that every work item is created with the necessary information and structure. This not only saves valuable time but also reduces the likelihood of errors that can occur when manually entering details for each new work item. The ability to recreate work items along with their sub-tasks and linked work items further simplifies space management, enabling teams to replicate successful workflows effortlessly.

The app supports dynamic content generation by incorporating variables, allowing users to customize templates based on specific space requirements. This flexibility ensures that templates remain relevant and useful across various spaces and teams. Additionally, the integration of templates into existing workflows as post functions enhances automation, allowing for a more streamlined approach to managing tasks.

Issue Templates for Jira Cloud empowers teams to work more efficiently, maintain consistency in their space management practices, and ultimately achieve better outcomes in their Jira environments.

Jira Assets Support

Issue Templates for Jira supports Jira Assets fields, allowing you to include asset related information directly in your templates. Asset values configured in a template are automatically applied when creating work items from that template.

This makes it easier to standardize asset selection across teams, maintain consistency, and reduce manual input when working with infrastructure, hardware, software, or other managed resources stored in Jira Assets.

Assets support works with template creation and automation features, helping teams create work items faster while keeping asset data accurate and consistent.

Assets are currently not populated on the work item create screen, however they are copied once the work item has been created. It will be improved soon.

App editions

Issue Templates for Jira Cloud is available in two editions: Standard and Advanced. The Standard edition covers core templating functionality, while the Advanced edition unlocks additional features for teams that need greater automation and access control.

The following features are available exclusively in the Advanced edition:

• Default Templates — automatically assign a template to an issue type so it’s applied every time a new work item of that type is created
• Availability — fine-grained control over who can access each template, with restrictions based on users, groups, and space categories
• Event log — statistics and analysis of template usage across spaces
