User reviews

Although it would be better if you could share the templates with all the users of a project, the problem is that the Chrome extension creates a mistake in the visualization of some gadgets in the dashboards!! Since I installed the extension I couldn't see anymore a burndown (conflict with permissions it seemed), issue calendar and other gadgets in dashboards (with error HTTP 400...); I tried uninstalling the extension and I could see again the gadgets... So the pluggin could be better, the extension makes the pluggin impossible to use.

A waste of time. It doesn't work with Jira new version. Couldn't find a way to implement it, even with the JIRA app.

It's ok. The biggest problem is you have to go through the links in the left project nav in order to have the template buttons available. This would be waaaaay more useful if these buttons were always available wherever the description box was rendered.
