Ticket templates

Ticket templates

Templates are reusable tickets, organised by epic, that you can drop into any sprint. If your team runs the same checklist every cycle — a release ritual, onboarding steps, a monthly close — build it once as templates instead of retyping it every time.

Where: Templates in the main menu

Using templates

  1. Select the templates you want — they are listed under their epics, with their type, priority and status visible.
  2. Choose the project and the sprint to apply them to.
  3. Click Apply. Copies of the selected tickets are created in that sprint.

The originals stay untouched — you are stamping copies, not moving anything. Run the same set into next sprint whenever the ritual comes around again.

What makes a good template

  • Write it once, properly. The template's title and description are what every copy inherits, so this is the one place where over-writing pays. A vague template produces vague tickets forever.
  • Template the ritual, not the work. "Deploy checklist" is a template; "Build the invoicing feature" is not — it happens once.
  • Group them by epic so a whole ritual can be selected in one sweep.

Rules and things to watch

  • Copies are independent. Editing a template later does not update tickets already created from it — they were copies at the moment of Apply.
  • Check the target sprint before applying. The copies land where you pointed them; applying a ten-ticket ritual into the wrong sprint means ten moves or ten deletes.
