Picking a template
The Apply Template field lists every enabled template for the current project and work item type. The list opens instantly and is cached for the session.
What happens
- With live apply set up, the form fills as soon as you pick (date smart values already resolved).
- If the pair has a default template, it is pre-selected and applied automatically — filling only empty fields.
- On submit, context smart values resolve and any child hierarchy is created and parented under the new work item.
