Release Summary: Introducing Subtask Templates

What’s New?

We are excited to introduce a powerful new addition to streamline your issue creation process — Subtask Templates!
This feature helps teams standardize and automate the creation of subtasks for recurring tasks or issue types.

Create once, reuse always – Define a set of subtasks once and apply them to relevant Jira issues whenever needed.
Bulk subtask application – Instantly add multiple subtasks to a parent issue with just a few clicks.
Fully customizable – Each template supports titles, descriptions, assignees, and other key fields to match your team's process.
Permissions-aware – Only authorized users can create or apply templates, ensuring control over usage.

✨ Key Benefits:

Standardization: Ensure consistency by using predefined subtasks across similar issues or projects.
Time-saving: Avoid repetitive manual entry — apply all necessary subtasks in one go.
Flexibility: Easily customize or reuse templates to match specific workflows.

🛠️ How It Works

1️⃣ Create a Subtask Template – Define a list of subtasks with their details (title, description, assignee, etc.).

2️⃣ Apply the Template – When creating or editing an issue, select a template to automatically add the predefined subtasks.
3️⃣ Manage Templates – Edit, organize in folders, or control access via permissions.
