Can you create a template for issues?

lvonzeller October 1, 2024

We want to create a template for our epic type issues in Jira Cloud. Specifically, in the Description field to have several headers to help drive consistency between epic creation. 

Is this possible and if yes, how? 

Thanks!

We use a custom field with a template default value and then automation to copy that data to description once it's created but there is a better way to do it now setting a default value in description that came out since we set ours up but we haven't gotten around to updating our setup. 

There is an Atlassian recommendation from this similar question

it is possible to alter the behaviour of the fields inside the "Create" dialog by extending Jira using Forge, and more specifically, by using the UI modifications module.

There are a couple of apps in the Atlassian Marketplace that make use of this module already and can fulfill your use-case without requiring writing a new app.
