I would like to incorporate a template into the Jira User story. How can i do this?

Question

Basically i would like to have a table template appear in all the user stories.
When the creator of the user story creates a new story 
this table template would appear and the creator can put a Yes, No or N/A in each box

Hi @Georgia Panagiotopoulos ,

It sounds like our free app is a perfect solution for you: Issue Templates Agent for Jira. With this app, you can create templates for issues. You can create a template only with the Description field and put a table in it as needed.

I hope it helps you.

Best regards,

Kate

Hi @Georgia Panagiotopoulos

UPDATE:

The appears to be a workaround now that is referenced in the feature request for this ticket: Try adding as a default value the following markdown format:

||Header A|||Header B|||Header C||
| | | |

It would still be better if the regular rich text capabilities would be supported here as well. Please vote for: JRACLOUD-78176 to get this on the roadmap.

ORIGINAL:

Unfortunately tables aren't currently supported in default descriptions. To quote from another response in the community:

In Team-managed Projects...

* Tables are available when creating/editing an Issue...
* ...but not available when setting a default description (i.e an Issue template)

It looks like there are some other limitations also - default description also doesn't have coloured text, attachments, dates, or status icons.

I couldn't find much documentation on why this is - not even in this help page - but there is a feature request for this, view/vote for JRACLOUD-78176
