This chapter provides information about template repository.
Template repository is a space that stores your templates. You can either create a separate space for your templates or use one of your existing spaces to store them. You can have some work items in your regular Jira space turned into templates just for your team.
Your space has been added to the repository list.
You can change availability later.
Any space can become a template repository. You can share your templates from a space you work in globally, create a new, separate space for templates, or use templates from multiple repositories.
Global templates can be used by anyone within your Jira instance (unless specified otherwise in visibility rules - also requires Browse space permission) for multiple spaces.
Your space has now become a global repository and templates stored in the space can be shared between multiple spacess.
You can have templates enabled just for your space. This space will serve as a local repository and templates created in it won’t be shared between other spaces.
If you enable your template as a repository work items that you turn into templates will affect your reports.
You should exclude such work items from your reports. You can use JQL - issue TemplateEnabled is Empty OR issueTemplateEnabled = “false”.
See JQL searchers for details. .
Navigate to Space Settings > Apps > Issue Templates
In the General Settings tab enable the toggle - turn the selected space into a template repository and add it to the list in global settings.
Set appropriate Permissions whether you want every user of your space to be able to use templates or only selected space roles of your choice.
See Template configuration for details on configuring and enabling a template. If you can’t enable or edit a template contact your administrator to adjust Visibility.
You can now use Create from template based on the enabled templates in this space.
Before you start, make sure your space is enabled as a template repository, otherwise it won’t appear on the list. You can activate it directly in space configuration or use the Add new repository button.
The process is the same if you want to switch a space from global to local. You just select a global space and change the availability to local.
Changing availability from global to local is a severe change, users working with this repository might lose access to their templates. This change will clear template availability settings and restore default availability. The templates will be only available locally in this space.
