On the Gaia Configuration page (Jira Administration → Manage apps → Gaia Configuration), you're able to export and import the template as a package.

You can either save exported file as a backup in your version control system (VCS) or put it anywhere else. You can also send it to another Gaia for Jira user.

Template file content - what is exported

When exporting a Gaia for Jira package, you get a .package file. The file contains :

  • Gaia Template - The template file contains all the settings of your Gaia template. This includes all the configurable options of the template (e.g.: Project description, Schemes, etc.).
  • Plugin version file - This file contains the identifier of the version of Gaia for Jira used to do the export.
  • Config file - This file contains information about the issue type and custom fields in the issue type scheme selected in the Gaia template.
  • Statuses file - This file contains the issue statuses used by the workflows.
  • Schemes file - This file contains all configuration information about the various schemes used by the template.
  • Workflow files - Those files contain all the workflows in the workflow scheme selected in the Gaia template.
  • Jira issues file - This file contains a copy of the Jira issues file used (if any).
  • Confluence space file - This file contains a copy of the Confluence space file used (if any).


Import

Note, if the template you are trying to import is a package, the template will automatically have a new Issue type scheme and workflow scheme created and an association will be made between the template and the schemes.
