Auto-populate Issue when creating from a board

Shannon_601tap

Hi,
I had this working on one instance of Jira without any configuration on my part but now on a different server it is not working. They are both Jira 7.

I have a kanban board set up with a search that includes a custom field. I want the field that is defined for the board to be pre-set on the issue creation field. 

For example:

My Search is:
project = myProject AND "Team" = one AND component = Software ORDER BY Rank ASC

I want Team to be pre-set to "one" and component to be pre-set to "Software" when you hit the Create button from the board screen.

Also, does it make a difference if the board is part of a sprint or just a straight Kanban board?

Hi @Shannon 

If you're on Jira Server, you can utilize Smart Issue Templates add-on and dynamically update it whenever you need to create a batch of issue with different component or for a different projectt (or any other criteria)

The plugin stores the input entered during the issue creation as a template which can be reused at any time to automatically populate the field values on the "Create Issue" form based on the selected template. 

 

Templates visibility can be private🔒(only you can use it) or public📢 (everyone can use it). Additionally, Templates can be either global🌎 (applicable to any project and issue type) or restricted⛔ (available for certain project(s) and issue type(s) combination).

Here's an example:



Hope this helps,
Nazar
