Use issue templates from issue view

Speed up Jira issue creation and planning meetings. Plan tasks from backlog using Jira issue templates without hopping between views.

You can create issues from the template in the issue view without changing the view. It is a massive facilitation during planning meetings and for all teams working with boards.

Due to Atlassian restrictions, templates can't be applied from the backlog "create issue" option at the moment.

How to use issue templates on the issue view?

When the simplified task creation panel is displayed, it does not show the create issue view, only the summary bar, then the workaround is required. This applies to the issue view: epics to add childs / tasks to create subtasks etc.

It is then necessary for the Create issue dialogue to open up - this can be done by setting a minimum of one required field on Create issue (it can be a template field, but it does not have to). This way, templates can still be used to create an issue, not just by clicking the Create button from the top navigation bar.

To use issue templates, you need to open the Create Issue dialog.

Set at least one field, which is always required to open when creating a task, and then use templates.
