Create issue via URL

Alongside with the Field templates add-on, there is a workaround how to add values to fields on issue creation form. To add values on create issue screen you can manually create a link. After clicking this link a create issue screen will appear with fields prepopulated with values you wanted.

Steps: 

Copy from the browser address bar and paste:

Every project has its own ID. If you know it, just type it right after. If you don’t, you can also find project ID directly from your browser.

1. Project ID

https://jira.yourcompany.com/secure/CreateIssueDetails%21init.jspa?pid= + add ID to the link in the address bar.  

we get:

As a project must have issue type, please define it's ID. (please see above)  

2. Issue Type

Now, please specify Issuetype value.

For example, we need to create a Task. To do so we must firstly know its ID. You can either ask your Jira administrator or find it on you own using your browser.

For example, the task ID is 3

3. Summary

Fill in the Summary field.

You can fill even more fields adding values to them.

4. Description

Fill in the Description field

Add &description= to the address bar

How to add text value:

Components

If it's necessary to specify Component in the issue creation form, you need to:

1. Get to know it's ID

1. Add the information to the URL

Priority

Add &priority= to the address bar

You can customize any other fields presenting in the issue creation form. Just get to know its ID and field value (if present) and feel free to use it in URL.

Next time you need to create an issue use the link you’ve made to open an issue create screen with the fields already containing values.
