Make your project templates even more powerful by adding placeholders to it.
Once you create a placeholder you can add it anywhere in the template settings.
During the project creation process, the user will be prompted to provide values for the placeholder and the app will automatically replace all the placeholders for the new project.
Create new placeholders
Click either on ‘2. Configure template settings and predefine components/versions/issues' in the dialog or on the settings icon in under Actions.
In the template settings modal, click on the tab ‘Placeholders’.
Click on ‘Create placeholder’.
Specify the new placeholder.
Placeholder field type
(Only User Picker supported, for now)Name
(Will be shown to users and must be unique)Default value
(Preselect values in the placeholder prompt for users during project creation)
Click on ‘Create’
Once the placeholder is created it can be selected in other areas of the project template.
Select placeholders inside the template
Currently, only placeholders of the user picker type are supported. We are actively working on incorporating additional types as well.
Placeholder can be selected inside the dropdown of user pickers.
Examples usages:
To allocate project roles to the users selected within a placeholder.
To assign the project lead, reporter of cloned issues, component lead of predefined issue or assignee/reporter of predefined issue to the user selected inside a placeholder.
Prompt for Placeholder Selection During Project Creation
When a user initiates a new project, they will be prompted to input values for various placeholders within the project creation interface.
The placeholders will come with default values preselected for convenience.
Throughout the project creation process, the application will seamlessly integrate the user-selected placeholder values into the project template, replacing all instances where the placeholders were initially designated.
