Description template

Issue description templates help you standardize Issue documentation across your team. Use templates to ensure every Issue includes the right details from the start.

Use the template​

  1. Click Add Issue.

    Add Issue button with template fields

  2. Fill in the pre-defined template fields (Problem, Solution, Comments).

  3. Add all critical details: steps, expected outcomes, and relevant files.

Customize templates​

Templates adapt to different Board types—bugs need different details than features.

Access template settings​

Navigate to template settings from either location:

  • Add Issue dialog
  • Automation settings > AI Writer
Template access from Add Issue dialog Template access from Automation settings

Edit the template​

  1. Select the template you want to modify.

  2. Change the text to match your team's workflow.

    For example, a bug Board might need fields like "Steps to reproduce" and "Expected vs actual behavior."

Template best practices​

  • Create Board-specific templates — Different Boards need different fields (bugs, features, tasks)
  • Keep prompts clear — Guide users to provide the right information
  • Use consistent language — Maintain the same terminology across all templates
  • Review regularly — Update templates when your workflow changes
  • Get team input — Ask your team what fields they need

Templates save time and ensure every Issue starts with the information your team needs to evaluate and implement it.
