(I thought it was here before but Couldn’t find it.)
We have board templates but what about creating custom (generated by user templates). I know you have it in your backlog but let’s have a discussion here so more people can share their ideas.
I’d like to see the ability to make custom templates for:
boards
folders
items
labels
checklists
long texts
And I think there should be the ability to have to types of templates: fixed and global
fixed templates are set in stone: you create it, use it to make new items/custom fields/etc and when you change the template, the things created with them do not change
global templates: when you edit master template, “childs” innherit the changes (something like current situations with labels)
I can see that implementing and using them can be tricky and that’s why so few apps offer them (successfully).
Thanks for taking the time to start a new discussion on our Community Forum
Custom templates are awesome suggestion! I think that would help Infinity members very much when it comes to creating a new workflow. I’ve just checked: that specific feature is in our backlog of features to be implemented I’ll talk this through with the rest of the team, and get back to you with more information and some ETAs hopefully!
Regarding ‘fixed’ and ‘global’ templates: What an awesome suggestion! I agree that it might be a bit complicated to develop and implement, but we’ll try to brainstorm and analyze the logic behind it.
Thank you again for the awesome suggestion! I’ll get back to you with an update about this specific topic.
Hey @dave.wood, thanks for the reminder to update this discussion!
Duplicating boards will be possible by the end of this month. You can use that as a temporary solution before we implement custom templates. Currently, our dev team is working on other essential features (like Notifications, Gantt Chart and Activity Log), but custom templates are in our backlog planned to happen in the near future.
Will it also be possible to move boards between workspaces? The way I envisioned setting up the system was to have a workspace for template boards, that I’d duplicate and move into a proper workspace based on project type/team etc.
Thanks, it’s working if you create a new view within a board. If I try to select a template following the Templates URL (https://startinfinity.com/templates) I still have to login and then nothing happens. Would be nice to get an option to which board the template should be added.
But we’re not giving up! The ETA for that would be mid-April
