Can you create Jira story templates

[Melissa Stage]

My developer has a user story he creates frequently that has two subtasks under it.  Right now, he has to recreate the task/subtasks each time.  He is wondering if he can create a template for it?  He could just clone a story he first created right?

Thanks

Yes, when cloning, there is an option to clone subtasks. In any case, if you need more powerful functionality, you can check this plugin: https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1211044/issue-templates-for-jira

This doesn't seem to work with the latest Jira UI iteration (next-gen projects)?

Hi @Melissa Stage ,

You can try Easy Templates for Jira Issues add-on: https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1219112/easy-templates-for-jira-issues

It will allow you and your developer create template with subtasks which may be autopopulated during new issue creation.

Cheers,
Pavel

Thanks for the info !

Thanks! This should be the accepted answer now that the other plugin mentioned above doesn't work with the latest Jira version.

where is the free version of this? Templates are an out-of-the-box feature in every other project management tool on the market, including the free ones.

Instead of cloning, is there an other way of having a list of template (story type A, story type B, story type C...) ?

Why not build a bespoke Issue Type called "User Story". defining the Screens, Permissions & Issue Security how you would like?

[Colomban MONNIER]

That's a good idea Daniel :)

I think this is the best idea without needing extra plugins.

After creating the issue types, an automation rule can create automaticly the subtasks and other actions you want.
