Convert to issue does not use a template #14010
-
|
If I make a draft on a project in projects beta, then press convert to issue and pick the repo, it creates an issue but bypasses the issue template chooser and then you get an issue that is missing the template and you have to figure out how to combine them. I suggest, that when there templates in a repo, that converting an issue allows the selection of a template and then the new issue becomes body of draft plus template. |

Yes. Was looking for this. Thanks for raising this feedback. I would love to be able to convert based on a issue template. |

Currently the side panel loses all convenience when I have to jump to the New Issue screen to copy/paste a template. Ideally when the issue is converted from a draft and a repo is selected, that repository's issue templates are displayed for selection. |

This should also happen when converting from a list of items using the 'Convert to issue' feature. |

I also have the same question here! It would totally make sense for you to be able to select a template |

+1 to this. Would be super useful to create issues from templates directly from the Project board instead of draft/blank issue. |

+1. I end up doing a really hinky workaround where I have a list of drafts in one screen and then I write the issue on another screen, so this would shave a significant chunk of time off my issue writing. |

+1 We are using the Issue template to define a strict criteria for issue logging. This feature gap negates all that effort. |

@AnnaKahnRaspPi could you show a step by step, because it's not working for me, even though I already have a template for issues but the drafts don't see my templates files just issues in dialog menu in project. Thanks. |

@joaomas you can try searching github for inspiration. Check how templates are defined. Which exact directory they're placed in. It also works with gh cli It's a pity yaml based templates don't show up but this thread is already a couple of years old and in my case I am happy I chose to use more primitive md templates and was able to use them both in cli and in any existing or new issues, while |

Hi @simisimis , thanks, but I don't have problem to create issue with Template, the question is: "draft -> convert to issue with template". |

This also happens when you are converting a task in a tasklist (see: #72731) As others pointed out in the accepted answer, this workaround is only good for getting the issue body text (and doesn't work for |
