Creating templates in Jira is an easy process that can significantly streamline issue creation and management. To get started, users need to install the Issue Templates for Jira add-on, which provides access to a library of ready-to-use sample templates. Users can then create their own custom templates from scratch or refine existing ones by editing settings and contents. Once created, templates can be edited at any time with permissions allowing for flexibility in customization. While Jira doesn't include built-in features for customizing templates, external apps like Field Templates for Jira offer solutions to adapt templates to specific needs, such as splitting visibility by project roles and combining templates for faster issue creation. Additionally, tools like Jam can help speed up the reporting process with a single click.
