Team-managed projects

This chapter provides information on how to use templates in team-managed projects.

Team-managed projects differ from company-managed projects. The main difference is that most entities, like issue types or fields, are local to a team-managed project.

Differences between company and team-managed projects that affects ITC:

  • Company-managed projects can share the same custom fields and issue types, team-managed entities are local and are not shared.
  • Subtasks can’t be created directly under an Epic in team-managed projects. Other issues (like a story or task) can have subtasks.

Steps

Info

The method described in Create from template that enables UI modification and adds the template field to the create screen automatically doesn’t apply to team-managed projects. For such projects you need to add it manually.

Make sure the custom field Issue templates offered by Issue Template for Jira is available in your project. If not, add it to your project following Add fields to your project.

  1. Navigate to Project settings of your team-managed project and go to Issue types.
  2. Type Issue templates to find the custom field offered by Issue Template for Jira.
