## 4.3.1 Setting up project task templates and checklists

A project task template can carry a checklist, so every task created from it on the board starts with the same items.

### 4.3.1.1 Add a checklist to a task template

Go to **Setup → Dropdowns → Project task templates**, open a template and choose its **Checklist** tab. Add the items the task should always start with. A task created on the board from this template (**Create from a template**) gets these items as its checklist. Maintaining these items needs the **Checklist templates** rights on the profile.
