Main Editor

The SuperTemplates editor is your command center for creating Jira tasks at scale. It combines a familiar document-like interface with powerful AI capabilities.

1

Understand the layout

The editor has three areas: the task list on the left, the detail panel on the right, and the toolbar at the top. Each task row shows its type, summary, assignee, and story points at a glance.

2

Define Tasks and Review

Use the tab switcher at the top to move between Define Tasks (where you create and edit) and Review (where you preview everything before pushing to Jira). Section Dividers (Advanced Edition) let you organize the editor into colorful named sections to keep large batches manageable.

3

Review before pushing

Switch to the Review tab to preview all tasks with their full Jira fields before creating them.

4

Inline validation

Incompatible fields are marked N/A with dashed borders and safely skipped during creation — they won't appear in Review mode, so you can focus on what matters.

5

Bulk actions toolbar

When rows are selected, the top toolbar switches to bulk actions — replace, smart replace, bulk edit, set parent, and delete. Every action applies only to your current selection.

6

Quick filters for selection

Select all rows, then refine with quick filters by issue type — only Stories, only Bugs, or everything except Epics. Apply a data pill to update the filtered set in one click.

7

Bulk Edit menu

Prepend or append text to all selected rows, or strip specific data pills in bulk. The number next to each field shows how many selected rows contain it — click ✕ to remove from all at once.

8

Smart Replace

Paste text with shorthand like [#epic], !High, @john, or [Due: Mar 15] — Smart Replace auto-detects every pattern and maps them to real Jira fields. Review the matches, adjust any partial ones, and apply all changes in one click. Supports issue types, priorities, assignees, dates, custom fields, and outline numbering for auto-hierarchy. In the Template Editor, relative date offsets like [Due + 2d] and [Start + 5bd] are also supported.

9

Find & Replace with data pills

Search for text to auto-select every matching row. Then click any data pill to replace that text with a structured Jira field — turn plain text placeholders into real assignees, priorities, or dates in one click.

10

Reorder with drag-and-drop or keyboard

Grab the drag handle on any row to move it. Or use Alt+↑ / Alt+↓ to move rows with the keyboard. Hierarchy is automatic — place a Task under an Epic and it becomes a child. Subtasks nest under Tasks.

11

Assign existing parents in bulk

Select multiple rows and click 'Set Parent' from the bulk actions toolbar. A modal lets you pick from existing Epics in your Jira project (or from the current batch). Search by key or summary, select the parent, and click 'Apply' — all selected issues are re-parented in one action. No need to drag rows under an Epic manually.

12

Result: issues grouped under the assigned parent

After applying, each issue displays its new parent Epic as a green badge above the row. The hierarchy is set — when you create these issues in Jira, they'll be linked to the existing Epic automatically. This is especially useful for adding tasks to Epics that already live in your backlog.

Once your tasks are ready, switch to Review mode to preview everything before pushing to Jira. Review supports both card and table views, and handles large batches with phased creation.

1

Preview in card or table view

Toggle between Preview (card layout with detail panel) and Table view to see all fields across every task in a spreadsheet-like grid. Filter by status, type, or problems to focus on what needs attention.

2

Create issues in Jira

Click 'Create in Jira' to push all tasks. Creation runs in multiple phases automatically — Epics first, then Tasks, then Subtasks — so hierarchy links are set up correctly. A progress modal shows real-time status with batch and phase tracking.

3

Creation complete

When all issues are created, you see the total count with a breakdown by type — Epics, Tasks, and Subtasks. Click 'View All in Jira' to open them or 'Copy Keys' to grab every issue key at once.

4

Browse created issues

Click 'Show Issues' to expand the full list of created issues with their keys, titles, and assignees — handy for quick verification or sharing specific issue links with your team.
