Apply template post function
This page provides information how to use apply template post function
Apply template post function allows you to automatically complete fields with values from a template after the transition is performed. While adding a post function you can select a relevant template, which will be applied to already created issue. This post function works exactly the same as apply template feature.
Before you start
Prepare the template, make sure to edit template’s scope.
Steps
- To apply this template to every newly-created issue, go to Project settings > Workflows
- Click the pencil icon to edit the chosen workflow.
If you want to apply different templates for different issue-types you need to split the workflow.
-
Click Create to edit the initial transition.
TipYou can add a post-function to different transitions and it can create sub-tasks or complex structures. -
Select Apply template.
-
Click Add.

As a result, it will be added to the transition.
Result
When an issue is created, the assigned template will be automatically applied. For fields defined in the template’s scope, values from the template will be copied to the issue. If the template issue has children issues or linked issues, they will also be recreated.
