We have a couple hundred projects and create a new project every 2-3 days. Each project has the same 5 issue types and each issue type has different fields and layouts assigned to them.
When we create a new project there seems to be no way to automatically apply the issue layouts that we already have in all other projects. Each new project has the fields ordered differently than the existing projects.
Currently we need to use the "copy issue layout to other project" feature but this is not ideal because:
- it seems to be available to Jira administrators only
- it can't be automated through the API
At the moment we need copy the 5 layouts every time we create a new project. Our projects are already created automatically via API and it's very inconvenient that one of our administrators needs to click through the same copy functions several times per week.
Is there any better solution for this?
Thanks!
