Rally: Feature Template With Stories Not Creating Stories when used - "User Stories" of the template "Template 6" could not be applied because of required fields

Products

• Rally SaaS

Issue/Introduction

When using a template for a Feature with Stories, the Feature and the stories on the feature required fields were populated correctly when the template was created. When I try to apply the template, I get this message. I don't understand since the required fields in the template were set correctly.

• "User Stories" of the template "Template 6" could not be applied because of required fields

Environment

Release :SAAS

Cause

There are required fields for User Story creation for the project other than Name, Description, and Notes.

Resolution

This is working as designed.

• Rally Templates support three fields when creating child items: Name, Description, and Notes.
• If User Stories have any required fields besides Name, Description, and Notes the user will receive a warning flare about the required fields.
• So, if the project has required fields for User Stories other than Name, Description, and Notes, the User Story will not be created using this template.
