Most of the configuration options refer directly to Jira project configuration items. To get a description of each configuration option, go to the Configuration Options Description section of this guide.
Make sure you enter a template name and a template description, as they are required to save a template. All other options can be left to their default values.
Once you've configured your template, you can click on the save button.
You should see your new template in the template list:
