Shared Workflow across JPD Projects?

[Patrick Chen]

Is there any intention to allow Workflows and other configurations to be shared across JPD Projects? Seems like a no-brainer coming from vanilla Jira not to have this. I am preparing to spin up no less than 12 JPD Projects but now I have to manually create the Workflows and Field configurations 12 times.

Hello, you can use the following features to make that easier:

• Use a space as a template to create other spaces

For that you need to use global fields

• You may need to convert existing project fields to global fields
• and you can copy field values using bulk edit

How do I copy field values between 2 fields? 

If you want to copy values between 2 fields in the same project (for example to move from a select field to a multi-select field) , you can use the "bulk edit" functionality in list views:

Demo: copy field values using bulk-edit.

If you are already using a Project Field in a project and you would like to use a Global Fields instead: you can use the “Copy Values” feature which helps you copy field values for all Ideas in a project from a Project Field to a Global Field.

More info and demo for Copy Values here.

And the documentation.

Custom Space Templates is a feature locked behind Jira Enterprise?

Tell me about it... I would very much appreciate if Atlassian would roll out an update to allow the creation of JPD spaces in the company-managed style to allow for standardization of configurations. The scalability aspect is so necessary.

@Gary Spross That would be helpful to be able to have standard JPD configurations for the organization.
