Creating a Bug Template Url
The following fields can be pre-populated with a value supplied in the URL. Using links with these query parameters present allows you to guide end-users to enter an issue that is tailored to a specific need. Usually defining a template and specifying just a template value is better than specifying other values in a URL. The user must still review, edit, and submit the form.
| Form field | URL query parameter | Values |
| Template | template | Name of a defined template in this project |
| Summary | summary | Initial summary string |
| Description | comment | Prompt text to show in issue description area |
| Status | status | Initial status value |
| Owner | owner | Username of initial issue owner |
| CC | cc | List of users to CC |
| Components | components | Comma-separated list of initial component values |
| Labels | labels | Comma-separated list of initial label values |
Constructing your URL:
- Start w/ the base url -
https://bugs.chromium.org/p/<project_name>/issues/entry
- Example: https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/entry
- Add your query parameters
- Example (using the "Defect from user" template) - https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/entry***?template=Defect%20report%20from%20user***

- Publish as a quick link (https://goo.gl/ works well).
