Atlassian Update - August 2024

Hi everyone,

Thank you for raising and voting on this suggestion. Your feedback is invaluable in shaping and enhancing Jira for all users. Given the high volume of feature suggestions for Jira, we must prioritize those that provide the most value to the majority of our users. After a thorough review by the team, we have decided that we will not be able to implement this suggestion in the immediate future.

Please remember that jira.atlassian.com is only one of many inputs for our roadmap. We’re continuously learning, analysing and interviewing customers to make Jira better. We encourage you to also share your feedback through Atlassian Community. Please also check out latest updates and upcoming plans from the Jira Cloud roadmap and the Atlassian Cloud release notes blog.

Jira Cloud Product

The process to create a new project now requires 5 unneeded steps before you can select "share settings with an existing project". Once you select that option, all your previous selections are negated. 

Existing Process

With the new change to Create Project, I have to do this:

1. Projects > Create Project

2. Pick any template.

3. Click "Use template"

4. Click "Select a company managed project"

5. Select "Share settings with an existing project"

6. Select the project you want to base it on.

Previously, on the Select a Template page, there was an option to skip the template selection process and go straight to "share settings with an existing project". 

Desired change: Please move this option back to the Select a Template page, so we don't have to go through 5 unneeded steps before we can accomplish our task. 

Desired process: 

1. Projects > Create Project

2. Pick any template OR pick "Share settings with an existing project"

3. Select the project you want to base it on.

All the new templates are wonderful, but if you are just trying to copy a project, all that stuff is just in the way.
