Create an Epic template in Jira Сloud

Create a parent Jira Epic issue. Add as many child issues for Epic issue type or subtasks for Stories, Tasks, and other issue types as you want.

Then Save Parent Epic as a Template by navigating to the Issue ellipsis menu → Save template

Cross-project Epic hierarchy templates

Epic templates with child issues in different projects are now supported.

Example

Assume the template has the following structure:

• Proj A Epic

  • Proj A task 1

  • Proj A task 2

  • Proj B task 1

  • Proj C task 1

When creating an issue from this template, the user chooses a destination project, for example, Proj Y. Work items from Proj A are created in Proj Y; items from Proj B and Proj C remain in their original projects.

This is useful for onboarding workflows: administrative tasks can remain in HR, while hardware and software setup tasks stay in DevOps.
