Let's see how it works in detail.
Create an Epic template in Jira Сloud and Data Center
Create a parent Jira Epic issue. Add as many child issues for Epic issue type or subtasks for Stories, Tasks, and other issue types as you want.
Then Save Parent Epic as a Template by navigating to the Issue ellipsis menu → Save template
Create Issue from Epic Template in Jira Cloud and Data Center
Once you need to create a new issue from the template – click “Templates” menu item on a Project left sidebar or “Apps” top Nav bar or by pressing “X” hotkey button.
Choose Project and “Epic” issue type. Then choose an Epic template you need.
After clicking Create - Epic with all its child issues (stories, tasks) and their subtasks will be created instantly!
Important note for Easy Templates for Data Center version.
To make a correct parent-child relation persist in hierarchy like Epic - Task - Subtaks, you need to make sure, the Epik Link field is added to “Create Issue” and “View Issue” Screen!
