We have specific project in Jira. If we create an User Story we have a template how to write it. Is it possible to generate this template in Jira, so when we create a new user story in this project the template is already there?
So I am working ways to improve the process with the team (using Agile in a Waterfall world, so I am adapting). One of the things that I have thought of is to:
1. Create a generic user story with associated sub-tasks, etc. for a standard development.
2. Every time there is a new user story needed, take a clone of the generic user story and work on it that way.
3. Take the cloned user story and customize it to the work at hand.
Not sure that is advisable.
Any thoughts or suggestions?
Simply go to Project settings-> Automation
Here you can insert a template text into the description. Works fine for me.
Hello,
Kindly, have a look at this plugin:
https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1211044/issue-templates-for-jira?hosting=cloud&tab=overview
It is not possible to have issue templates out of the box.
Hi Alexey,
thank you very much for your help!
Best regards
Hey @Sebastian_Grutz ,
You can try Easy Templates for Jira Issues add-on: https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1219112/easy-templates-for-jira-issues
It allows you to create the most general and useful templates for different issue types and cases, like story, bug report, on/offboarding and other processes. Add subtasks and set Templates per issue type.
Cheers,Pavel
You are most welcome!
Sounds perfectly reasonable to me if not using a plug-in. I'm looking at doing exactly this. The subtask names will all come prefixed with CLONE (by default but can be disabled on a global instance basis)
We are doing the same thing. Given the tool this seems to be the path of least resistance.
sorry but that's totally garbage. Why would we need to pay for a feature that comes out of the box in every other project management tool, including the free ones, on the market?
I would simply create a story with all template contents needed,
Then, I'll ask all teammates to create new story by cloning the story.
This way doesn't require any plugin.
But requires teammates to perform an additional manual step. This makes is NOT the path of lease resistance which then equates to being optional and processes break down if the team is not motivated to comply. This is a major gap in the features of the product.
Have to agree w/ James. This is a basic feature of every PM tool our teams have used in the past.
Is this again a feature, which does not exist in Jira?
Yes though Project Settings > Issue Types > Story > Description (type in text you want as a template) > Save Changes.Now create a new story to see if template text is included.
What version / type of Jira are you using? I don't seem to have the option to edit the Description. Thanks, Sam.
ditto, i don't see this capability in Cloud Jira.
I am using Cloud JirA too.
Thank you for reminding me about this! Jira Automations are VERY powerful!
I have done that too. The only issue with that approach is that the Description template overrides what the user types in the Jira creation screen because it is triggered after the creation screen closes, not prior to opening it.
Anyone knowing how to get the template in place prior to users being able to type in that screen?

I was thinking of doing the same, but there is big problem with this approach. When a Jira user creates a story for the first time, the description will be blank. The user will add details, then click save. Jira automation will replace what the user has entered with the automated text, meaning their work will be lost.
Hi everyone,
We recently released an app: Issue Template for Jira - Summary & Description Templates
You can define a template per issue type including User Story and that template will be automatically prefilled when users open create issue window.
Team managed projects has a workaround, see Muhammad's answer. Our app works with both team and company managed projects. Also, have a look into Atlassian Marketplace here if you have slight different requirement here, you will surely find template app for your needs.

Thank you Nar for sharing.Does the template creation has the same formating options like the normal describtion field?Specifically: can I create "info panels" in the templates of this app?
Hi Michael,
Update: panels including other Jira editor features are supported now.
Panels are currently not supported. We might be able to add it in the future, please watch our app here (bottom right) to get notified of future releases.
Thanks for your reply!Please , please Consider implementing that feature. The reason is this can be very well used instead of the non existing checkboxes.
Hi,
To create templates for issues, you can use our free app called Issue Templates Agent for Jira. The template is applied on the standard Create issue screen, so you don't have to use any new screen to create tickets from templates. I strongly recommend you to try it.
Cheers,

We had a positive experience using your application previously. However, it appears that Jira has made certain changes within the last month, which have led to your app's functionality being disrupted. Specifically, an error now arises whenever an issue with an associated template is being created. Kindly find the error details attached for your reference.
Hi @eyal_silverstein ,
Please check in the Field configuration what type of renderer is set to Description or other text fields which are added to the template. It should be Wiki Style renderer.
If it doesn't help, please create a ticket on our customer portal https://appsvio.atlassian.net/servicedesk/customer/portal/3. We'll check our logs and investigate this issue.

I also want to add that you can use our app Deep Clone for Jira to clone template projects and issues.
Deep Clone can clone a project, including its configuration with Project Clone.
Additionally, you can also clone template Epic hierarchies or other hierarchies with Epic/Tree Clone.
You can read more about using template projects with Deep Clone here.

In case you want to add Jira's native Action Items to your User Story Template (e.g. to cover a DoR or DoD), you should take a look at Templating.app.
You can add this kind of checklist manually or assign a label to automate its application (works with Jira Automation as well).
Let me know if you have any questions via seibert.biz/meetsarah
I think this has been removed from Jira.You now have to buy an additional app. For 25 Users it is about 300 Dollars per Year for having simple templates.
It is not free.
This feature has been never exist in Jira. It's basic but also with app you can build more complex structures. In our Issue Templates Agent for Jira, for 25 users it's $187.5 for year.
It looks like you're new here. Sign in or register to get started.
