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!

Confluence has a system like this already built with Confluence Workbox notifications:

https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/DOC/Configuring+Workbox+Notifications

There isn't a native system like this within JIRA. However there is a plugin that does this for JIRA:

https://marketplace.atlassian.com/plugins/com.jitterplugin.jira.jitter-notify

You might check out the plugin marketplace, as there are always news plugins being added for JIRA, and there might be others that will suit your needs for this feature.

In general, by using https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/JIRA/Listeners, it should be possible to develop some custom functionality for notifications. But, of course, if Confluence workbox will be ported at some point to JIRA then it is exactly what are you looking for. And actually, even now, when you use Confluence with JIRA you can get such notifications (in Confluence, but even JIRA notifications)

In Confluence there is Workbox but it has not been ported to JIRA: http://blogs.atlassian.com/2012/09/confluence-101-trade-your-inbox-for-workbox/
