Defining the ingredients for your template
The Edit Project Template screen allows you to define the configuration for any project created with this template. Fill in the information below and click Save to save the template:
| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Usage guidance | User-friendly description shown during the creation of the project to help the creator choose the appropriate template to use. |
| 2 | Parent template | The template to "inherit" values from. Any values specified in the template will override the settings derived from the parent template. Essentially, rather than manually duplicating an entire Project Creator for JIRA template you can now designate a "parent" template. Then in your current template simply override the areas that you want to change. |
| 3 | Base Project(s) | Select one or more existing projects that your trusted users will be able to select from to copy over that project's configurations to a new project. |

| 6 | Project Type | Indicates the type of project: "Business" or "Software." "Software" is available with JIRA Software. |
| 7 | Default Assignee | The default assignee. |

| 10 | Versions | The name of the Version Scheme, as defined on the Version Schemes tab. |
| 11 | Workflows | The Workflow Scheme to associate with the project. |
