With the new Product Discovery Projects, we're looking to apply a default template on idea creation - without manually having to select one from the templates menu.

 

We'd like to do this to guide our product managers, who are not familiar with jira, into recording their ideas in a standardised format.

Adding a vote to this idea. I'd like to default a template to the ideas created. Having options is causing confusion and inconsistency across our stakeholders.

I was watching the video from Atlassian where a default template was automatically used when creating a new idea which led me here looking for the setting. Since no one has mentioned it, you can do this. Go to Project settings -> Features -> Create ideas -> then select the template you wish to use. Once I did this, clicking "Create" at the top of the page now auto populated the template in the description. A quick note that this does not seem to add the template to an idea created with the "Create an idea" button where you just add the summary directly in a view.

The ability to select the template during idea creation (not after save) and/or being able to set a default template to be used is base functionality that is needed in the product.

Still struggeling with this missing feature. Are there any news or workarounds? I tried to do it via automation but couldnt find a proper solution to apply a template this way.
