How do I amend JIRA's user story template to my own?

Hello,

I have created my own version of a user story template with additional information in the "Description" field.

How do I change the JIRA user story ticket to always pick up my template whenever a new user story is created?

Thanks,

Ian

Hi Ian,

You can use Automation to apply changes to your work items on-the-fly on events such as Work Item Creation:

Alternatively, you can use 3rd-party apps from Atlassian Marketplace that are providing templating capabilities to Jira.

We are the ones behind Issue Templates for Jira Cloud.

Hope that helps!

Olivier
