The option in Jira is to share settings with an existing Project - so you might...

* Create a Template Project, with specific Issue Types, Workflows, Screens, etc you want all Projects to share
* Set each new Project to share the settings of this Template Project

To do this during creation...

1. Go to Projects \> Create Project
2. Select a Kanban template, and choose to Use template
3. Select a company-managed project
4. **Check the box *Share settings with an existing project***
5. **Choose the project to use - i.e the Template Project**
6. Give the Project a name/key - and create it

Let us know if this works for you!

body: Hi [@Ste Wright](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/1166470) , it should be working but something goes wrong.

If I compare both project settings\>project summary they are identical.

But looking from user interface I cant see board module, roadmap. I'd like to share two prints screens for more details, maybe you would know there is the problem.

Maybe you know what setting I might missed?

p.s. I had created new project according your manual guidelines

Even though you receive a Board (which includes a Roadmap) when you create a Project from a default template - they're not actually a part of the Project.

A Board is the visualisation of a search filter - and it can contain one Project, or multiple, depending on the search parameters.

*** ** * ** ***

If using *Share settings with an existing project,*you will need to create a Board for the new Project manually.

To do this...

1. On the left-hand side, select the Board drop-down menu
2. At the bottom of the list, select *+ Create Board*
3. Choose a board type
4. On the next screen, select *Board from an existing project*
5. Give the Board a name, and choose your newly created Project. The location should be the same Project
6. Select to *Create board*
