How to Use Issue Templates in Linear

Updated on:

Use this interactive demo to learn how to apply issue templates when creating new issues in Linear.

Quick summary

Issue templates in Linear let teams standardize the information captured in every new issue, ensuring consistency and reducing manual effort. By selecting a template from the issue creation form, you can pre-fill fields and enforce a repeatable structure across all your project issues.


Steps

  1. Navigate to your Issues section in Linear to begin.
  2. Click the add icon to open the new issue creation panel.
  3. Click Template to access the available issue templates.
  4. In the issue creation form, select your desired template from the template dropdown menu.
  5. Click Create issue to submit the issue with the selected template applied.
  6. Confirm that the new issue reflects the template structure, ensuring all required information is included for uniformity and time savings.

📌 Why this matters

Issue templates in Linear solve a critical workflow problem for engineering and product teams: inconsistent, incomplete issues that slow down triage and planning. By standardizing the fields and information required for every new issue, templates enforce team-wide consistency and eliminate repetitive manual entry. This means faster issue creation, clearer expectations for contributors, and less back-and-forth during sprint planning. For teams scaling their development processes, Linear issue templates are a key tool for maintaining quality and speed across projects.
