Creating template of a project in jira for future projects (same issues in the Backlog)

Agnieszka Santos

Hi guys, 

for smaller, shorter projects which are very similar to each other I would like to have a template with ca. 10 issues in the Backlog already created, ready to be reviewed, edited to adjust for this particular case of project.

I was thinking of creating a project like that, which would be a template for others of this kind and use bulk action to copy the issues from it in case a brand new project will be  created. 

Do you have any advise on it? How to operate best in this case? 

Would you recommend then to use a company-managed type of project even though they would be quite simple and short cases?

Hello @Agnieszka Santos 

For this use case, a Company-managed project would be recommended as for these you can create the project with shared settings.

At first, create a Company-managed project which will act as the template. Then whenever you need to create a small project, select the Company-managed project type, check the check-box for 'Share settings with an existing project' and select the previously created project. This way, you can use a project as a template since we cannot create custom templates.

Please accept the answer if it helps.
