Custom Jira Project template; How to clone board from "Create New Project" window?

[mhulse]

Hi all,

We have JIRA cloud solution. Not sure what version it is.

Yesterday, I created a customized project with all the settings, fields, screens, permissions, Kanban board, etc., and saved the project as "MY COMPANY PROJECT TEMPLATE" (for example).

Now, I would like all new projects to use everything about this template.

Question #1:

Is it possible for me to have my custom project "template" show within the "Create Project" modal window?

Question #2:

When I use the "Create with shared configuration", see screenshot above, I am able to choose my "template" project to use for my new project, but unfortunately, this technique does not copy the kanban board settings. 

What is the best way to include my Kanban board settings from another project (i.e., my project "template")?

Question #3:

Is it possible for me to create an option similar to the "Kanban software development" (as seen above) that will create a project and a Kanban board all in one fell swoop?

Honestly, I just want to click a button and have it create a project, with a board included (like Kanban option in above screenshot) and start working.

Optimally, I'd like to not have a project "template" lingering around just so we can use it as a default starting point.

Hopefully that all makes sense. Please let me know if I can clarify any of my questions. Thanks a bunch in advance!

You'll need some code in a listener (I'd use the script runner to do this, as usual)

Your listener will need to 

• Pick up any event on an issue where you could have changed priority
• Check that it has changed (no point running more code if it has not)
• Run JQL to get a list of the clones
• For each clone, change priority
• I'd recommend commenting on them to say "priority changed because priority on other issue was changed"

There are a number of problems with doing this though:

• How are you going to identify clones?  It's fine if they still have the "cloned from" link on them, but people can remove those
• I've assumed this is one way - if someone changes the priority on a cloned issue, I've assumed you don't want that to clobber the original and all the others as well (if it does, you need a slightly different approach to the above because you need to build the list differently, and an extra segment to avoid each change triggering the listener again)
• Your users may get upset by having someone change their issues without consultation just because another issue is updated.
