I pushed an example of a simpler template that is much more like the view you get when using Bugzilla: https://gitlab.com/berrange/libvirt/-/issues/new https://gitlab.com/berrange/libvirt/-/commit/faf1aee60675604a04cbe2e2441dcad233963b86 IMHO, this kind of simpler template is less intimidating and clearer as to what information to provide.
