Create from template

This chapter provides information about Create from template feature.

Create from template dialog

Link that opens the Create from template dialog can be found in Apps dropdown, in the Jira Cloud’s main navigation bar.

As soon as you click Create from template, a dialog box appears. You will preselect:

• Project
  Note

  It’s not possible to select the Templates repository. Due to app design and the purpose of Templates repository, this action has been blocked.
• Issue type for new issue created from template
• Template’s name

Click Confirm and go to the next step.

The ITC app will open the Create issue dialog with autocompleted fields. In Jira Cloud it’s the only solution to autocomplete fields while creating an issue.

After you click Create, applying template will continue and other issues (including sub-tasks, links) will be generated based on your template data.

You can monitor the progress of applying template in Report dialog. Close the report to let the process run in the background.

Create from template view

Link that opens Create from template view can be found in the project sidebar of every project (besides Template Repository). This feature works exactly the same as Create from template dialog.

You can monitor the progress of applying template in Report dialog. Close the report to let the process run in the background.
