Feature templates
When my team writes features, I want them to be sure to at least think about - and typically actually write - things like key Acceptance tests, a short narrative about the market problem the feature solves (could be in user story form), and how the feature affects key areas of the product (e.g., reporting, upgrades, backward compatibility, searching - plus lots more specific to the specific product). Today I can copy an existing feature as a template, but that means I can't use that lovely big "+" button that's so appealing.
This enhancement would be used all the time - every time I or one of my team members created a feature. And the result would be better feature specifications, because they'd always have an Acceptance test - or clearly be missing one - and they'd always have something done on the list of impact areas, and they'd always provide the motivation - the customer or market problem - for building it. My features would be higher quality, engineering would have a much better idea what to build and why, and my company's revenue and profit would accelerate.

We agree with this and have an existing feature planned to allow for templates.

MERGED
Create a customizable and default "Description" that populates every time a new Feature is created
Each time I add a feature I add our default formatting. It looks like this:
---
<Business Requirements Text. This is the goal of what we are trying to build>
Acceptance Criteria
<Acceptance Criteria 1>
<Acceptance Criteria 2>

Max, you did indeed. I have merged the ideas. Thanks!
I think I created an idea for this today - https://big.ideas.aha.io/ideas/APP-I-910
Such a template would be extremely useful in the Idea portal as well.
We still agree that this is an important feature, but it is sitting behind a few releases and a number of other features and integrations that there continues to be more support for. We have not forgotten about it and it is on the roadmap.
Hi Aha team,
Any update on this request, and when it might be implemented?
This is a critical one for our team to really get onboard with using aha efficiently
It would also be nice to integrate this with personas and a story template like
"As <persona> I'd like to <feature usage> to be able to <feature outcome> so that <persona> can have <benefit>"
"As Fabian (Product Manager) I'd like to have a feature template to be able to make sure that every story follows the same principle so that the Product Owners and Development Teams can grasp the intention easier"
Definitely love this idea....would provide a consistent set of details for each user to provide.
I'd also like to have the ability to have a Release template, that can be called upon when creating new release for other products, that when selected, will create the release with all of the Features and their associated requirements, tags, etc.
A template per product would be great, and the ability to have multiple templates per product *might* be even better, although things start to get confusing at that point.
