Kickstart each new project with a set of predefined components. Project Templates for Jira allows to automatically create components with every created project. To do that admins can either specify a ‘Component source project’ to clone existing components from, or predefine a set of new custom components.

1. Click either on ‘2. Configure template settings and predefine components/versions/issues/components' in the dialog or on the settings icon in under Actions.

2. In the template settings modal, click on the tab ‘Components’

Clone existing components

After project creation, the app will clone all components from the specified ‘Component source project’ to the newly created project.

Edit the component source project

1. Click on the ‘edit icon’
   

   

2. Select the project you want to use as ‘Component source project’

3. Click on ‘Save’

Predefine new components

1. Click on ‘Predefine custom component’

2. Specify the new component

   

3. Click ‘Create’ to add a new predefined component to the project template settings.

4. The predefined component will appear now in the template settings and can be either ‘Edited’ or ‘Deleted’
   (Editing or deleting predefined components, does not affect already created components in existing projects.)
