Create a project page template

POST/api/v2/workspaces/{slug}/projects/{project_id}/page-templates/

Create a page template that belongs to one project. The top-level fields describe the template in the picker, and template_data is the page that the template creates. The new template's project_id is the project in the path, and it stays there.

In a workspace with workspace governance turned on, this route returns 409 templates_managed_at_workspace and creates nothing. Use Create a workspace page template there. The governance check runs before body validation, so a governed workspace answers 409 even when the body is invalid.

Path Parameters

slug:requiredstring

The workspace slug. It appears in your Plane URLs, so in https://app.plane.so/my-team/projects/ the slug is my-team.

project_id:requiredstring

The project to add the template to. Accepts the project UUID or its identifier, for example ENG.

Body Parameters

name:requiredstring

Display name of the template, shown in the template picker. Maximum 255 characters.

template_data:requiredobject

The page seed. Keys:

• name (string, required). Title of the page created from the template. Maximum 255 characters.
• description_html (string). Page body as HTML. Defaults to <p></p>.
• color (string). Page color, for example #3f76ff. Defaults to an empty string.
• parent (object). The page that new pages nest under, as {"id", "project_id", "project_identifier"}. All three keys are required when parent is not empty. Defaults to {}.
• view_props (object). Page display settings, for example {"full_width": false}. Defaults to {}.
• logo_props (object). Editor-owned descriptor for the page icon or emoji. Defaults to {}.

See Parent validation.

short_description:optionalstring

One-line summary of what the template is for. Nullable. null and omission are both stored as an empty string.

description_html:optionalstring

Longer description of the template itself, as HTML. Defaults to <p></p>. This is not the page body, which goes in template_data.description_html.

is_published:optionalboolean

Whether the template is published. Defaults to false.

Response shaping

fields:optionalstring

Comma-separated list of fields to return. Unrequested keys are omitted from the response, not returned as null, so absent means "not requested" and null means "actually null". id always comes back whether or not you name it.

Pass all for every requestable field. An unknown name is a 400 that lists the valid set and suggests the closest match, so a typo can't silently cost you the saving.

Requestable here: created_at, created_by_id, description_html, id, is_published, name, project_id, short_description, short_id, slug, template_data, template_type, updated_at, updated_by_id.

See Sparse fields.

Scopes

templates.pages:write

Errors

Status	Code	Cause
400	invalid_request	name, template_data, or template_data.name is missing, a value is over its length limit, or parent is malformed.
401	unauthorized	Missing or invalid credentials.
402	payment_required	Page templates aren't in your plan, or the feature is switched off for this workspace.
403	forbidden	Your role or token scope can't create page templates in this project.
404	not_found	No such workspace or project, or it's outside your tenant.
406	not_acceptable	The Accept header asks for a representation the API can't produce.
409	templates_managed_at_workspace	The workspace has governance turned on. Create the template at the workspace level instead.
409	governance_migration_in_progress	The workspace is migrating to workspace governance. Writes are blocked until it finishes, so retry later.
413	payload_too_large	The request body is over the size limit.

429	rate_limited	Throttled. Honor the Retry-After header before retrying.
