Summary

This extension automatically inserts a template of your choosing into the JIRA Create Issue Description field. The template injected is relative to the selected "Project" and “Issue Type” within the Create Issue modal on JIRA.

On initial install a default list of templates are pre populated for you. These can easily be removed/restored at any time.

By default the extension works for cloud hosted JIRA instances (*.atlassian.net domains). If you are using a self hosted JIRA instance or a custom domain, you may add your own custom domains for the extension to check against. You may also add any custom input IDs for which you would like your templates to be injected into.

You can add templates individually, or bulk add them through a local or remote json file. See Support & FAQ for an example JSON file.

Features:

  • Automatically select text between <TI> and </TI> tags for quick template completion.
    • Quickly jump to the next set of <TI> elements using the 'Control + back-tick'
