Issue Templates is integrated with Automation, which allows scheduling actions.
Scheduled templates with automation
With this setup you can create a rule:
When: Scheduled every day/week/month
If: JQL condition (optional)
Then: Create a new issue
Define a JSON file in the Additional fields section in which you can fill non-standard fields.
Automation
{
"fields":{
"customfield_12240":"88"
}
}
Info
In this case 88 corresponds with the template ID.
Automation
As soon as you add the template field with a corresponding template ID, the template will be applied to a newly created issue.
Additionally, all the sub-tasks and links related to this issue will be copied if the post-function is added to the workflow.
