Since: v6.3.0. Jira hosting: Server, Data Center
Scheduled Issues can be used as templates, you can use it for your own tasks or use scheduled issue as a team task template.
If you share template among team members, you probably need to do a lot of editing especially - user related fields like: Reporter, Assignee or some Custom user picker fields. Or maybe each of your team members have almost exact same tasks with only difference in Assignee.
We came up with solution for that!
With v6.3.0, each of the user picker fields in the 2nd step of the wizard, have a checkbox to “Set current user as ‘field’ on manual executions”. If you check it under Assignee field, then when Scheduled Issue is manually executed, the user who triggered creation of Jira issue will be set as an Assignee.

Feature is not yet fully compatible with multi user pickers: it overrides all values, we will update documentation, when it's ready.
This way your templates can be more diverse and usable for all team members.

Moreover, with new feature of setting up the initial status … your users can use those templates right away and when they create the issue it can be transitioned to the 'In progress” status.
