How to create task templates using the Magic button
We have received many requests for functionality for issue templates from our clients, so we decided to find a quick and handy solution for it. Generate tasks with prefilled attributes by a single click.
How to use the magic button for system admins and project managers:
- Save this link as a bookmark on your browser:
javascript:try{$('textarea[id=issue_description]').val(CKEDITOR.instances["issue_description"].getData());}catch(e){}s=$.param($('#issue-form*[name!=authenticity_token]').serializeArray());alert(location.href+"?"+s);
- Go to a new task form and fill in the desired attributes. Like in the image below, tracker, assignee, priority and coworkers are set
- Click on the bookmark you saved - magic button and you will get a link to the new task form with the prefilled attributes
- You can save this link to a noticeboard on a project overview page or user personal page.
