Templates

A template is a list of items and sections, each with its requirement. Status, owners and due dates aren't part of a template.

Using a template on an issue

• Templates at the top of the checklist lists every template on the site. Pick one to add its items below the existing ones.
• An empty checklist suggests up to four templates.

Creating templates

• From an issue: Templates → Save checklist as template. Anyone can do this.
• From Jira settings → Apps → Simple Checklist → Templates (Jira admins): New template. Type items, paste a list, turn rows into sections with H, and reorder them with the arrows.

Adding a template to new issues automatically

In the template editor, turn on Add automatically to new issues and pick:

• Projects: leave empty for every project.
• Issue types: leave empty for every type. Types are matched by name, so a "Bug" type in a team-managed project matches too.

When an issue is created in a matching project and type, the template's items are added straight away. Several matching templates are all added. Existing issues aren't changed.
