Move templates to another Project

Prerequisites

• Project admin permissions in both source and target projects

• Access to Manage Templates

• Project ID and issue type IDs for source and target

Once a template is created, it’s linked to an issue type, which in turn is linked to a base project.

You can move the template from one base project to another. This is useful when migrating from Team-managed to Company-managed. Team-managed templates can’t be shared across projects; instead, move them and remap the issue types.

How to move/remap template to another project:

1. Go to Manage Templates

2. Click “..” dot → Remap Experimental
   

   

3. Fill the configuration

   1. Set target project ID, Key

   2. Set all issue types ID’s mapping from old to new one *
      

      

4. Click “Remap”

5. Test template
