Project templates

Issue templates that prefill new tasks: title, description, priority, labels and checklist.

Project templates (issue templates) prefill new issues to standardize repetitive tasks within a project.

What it is

Each template has a name (the template’s, not the issue’s) and some defaults: title, description, priority, labels and a checklist.

What it’s for

So creating a recurring issue (a review, an onboarding, a report) always starts from the same skeleton, without rewriting it. They’re just prefill data.

How to use it

  • Manage templates in the project’s Templates tab: create, edit and delete.
  • Create an issue from a template from the project’s issue list: a «from template» button that only appears inside a project that has templates.
  • When instantiated, the new issue takes the template’s title (or its name if the title is empty), its priority, and the description with the checklist appended as a markdown task list (- [ ] item). Labels are applied if they still exist.

Details

  • The template’s name is required.
  • Deleting a template is immediate (no undo), unlike docs.
  • Deleting the project also removes its templates.
