What is the challenge? |
When creating to-dos within a release template, only Title, Description, and Assigned To fields can be configured. Custom fields cannot be set in the template, requiring manual updates to custom field values every time a release is created from the template. |
|---|---|
What is the impact? |
Release templates with to-dos are used to track cross-functional go-to-market activities across multiple functional teams. A "Functional Team" custom field has been added to to-dos to enable filtered reports showing each team their upcoming work. Without the ability to pre-set custom field values in the template, significant time is spent manually updating these fields for every release, and there is risk of inconsistent data entry across releases. |
Describe your idea |
Allow all to-do fields - including custom fields - to be configurable within release templates. When configuring a to-do in a release template phase, users should be able to set values for custom fields in the same way Title, Description, and Assigned To can be set. When a release is created from the template, all to-dos would include their configured custom field values without requiring manual updates. |
