Linear issue templates

Overview

When you create a Linear issue from Productlane, you can apply one of your Linear issue templates to prefill the new issue. Templates live in Linear, so the picker always matches the templates your team manages there.


Before you start

  • Connect Linear from Settings → Integrations → Linear.

  • Make at least one Linear team visible in Productlane. The picker lists templates for your visible teams, together with workspace-wide templates.

  • Create the templates themselves in Linear, under Linear's template settings. Productlane reads them; it does not create them.


Apply a template

  1. Open the create issue dialog from a thread, from feedback, or from the Issues screen.

  2. Next to the team selector, click Template.

  3. Browse the list. Templates are grouped by team, with workspace-wide templates under a Workspace heading at the end. Type to filter by name.

  4. Select a template to apply it. The button then shows the template's name.

To clear the selection, open the picker and choose No template.

Templates are offered when you create a new issue. Converting an existing tag or opportunity into an issue skips the template picker.


What a template prefills

Applying a template fills in the fields it defines:

  • Priority

  • Title. A template title is appended to whatever you have already typed, so your own wording stays.

  • Description. The template body is added to the end of the current description.

  • Status (workflow state)

  • Assignee

  • Agent. If the template delegates to an agent such as Cursor, that agent is preselected.

  • Project

  • Labels

Productlane also passes the template through to Linear when the issue is created, so any parts of the template that go beyond these fields are applied by Linear itself.


Templates for another team

Priority, title, and description apply whichever team is selected. Status, assignee, project, and labels belong to a single team.

If you pick a template that belongs to a different visible team, Productlane switches the team selector to that team. It then applies the template's status, assignee, project, and labels once that team's data has loaded.
