Is there a way to create a project with custom template boards

[Danilo Ferrari]

Hi everyone,

Every time an agile squad needs to create a project, it also has to create 3 standard boards that are already defined by the governance area.

Is there any way that every time a specific project is created, 3 standard boards are created instantly?

We have the scriptrunner add-on, so if there is any form via scripting, it would be useful as well.

Thanks in advance.

Yes, there is a groovy script provided by script runner

What you need is to add few changes to work it as per your needs

You are welcome, while using this script please note that sometime you might see the jira project is created but not appearing in projects. Its common as i think they are using caching so after few moment it will appear to projects list.

Another issue you might face is , when copying the board along with project you might face project not found exception as they creating the project in cache first then using the same project key to copy the board and since key is not available and it might give you exception. In this case you might need to separate the copy board code from the script.

Hi @Danilo Ferrari 

I believe this requires an actual add-on development where you package your custom project and boards as a template.

Unfortunately, this is something I am also looking for but yet to figure out how to design it.

Cheers.
