What is Issue Templates for Jira Cloud?

Issue Templates for Jira Cloud is a versatile extension that empowers you to create reusable templates from any Jira issue type, including Epics, Stories, Tasks, Bugs, and more. This app is designed to simplify workflows, reduce repetitive tasks, and ensure consistency in issue creation across your projects.
