Template project structure

Question

Hi All,

I run multiple projects every year and I am struggling to find if there is a way to copy the structure (epics, stories, etc.) I had for 1 project to another. Each project is very similar and repeats yearly. The only way I'm seeing is to copy the same epics, stories again which is quite time consuming. Any way to save a project as a template and use it again every year. Thanks in advance for any help!

Hi @Kelvin Jin-Yang are you using Jira or Trello? It sounds like you're referring to Jira, but you've posted in the Trello forum. I don't believe it's possible to create custom projects in Jira for the moment, but you can create a new project and just select the option to copy the config from another project. You just need to follow the new wizard when creating a project, select the template that looks the closest to what you're using (i.e. Kanban, scrum), and just make sure you select the "company managed" project type in the next step. From there, you'll see the option to copy the configuration from an existing project.

There are also some paid add-ons available such as Deep Clone for Jira which can offer you this functionality

I found this request here to develop a template feature if you wanted to upvote it!

Thanks, @milynnus, could you provide some guidance on how you built the capability? did you have to code? I have a non-technical background and I'm trying to see if there is a feature that's low code that's possible to replicate what you are describing
