Bug Report template
A bug report form that front-loads what engineers need to reproduce the issue: required repro steps, expected-versus-actual behavior, a four-level severity scale, an environment dropdown covering browsers and mobile apps, and attachments sized for screen recordings. Reports that arrive in this shape skip the ping-pong of clarifying emails and go straight to triage.

What’s inside
The questions this template ships with — rename, reorder, or delete any of them in the builder.
When to use this template
- The report-a-bug link inside a web app, where the URL field captures exactly which page misbehaved
- A public beta collecting structured reports from testers who aren't professional QA
- A dev agency giving clients a bug form during UAT so issues arrive with repro steps instead of a phone call
- An open-source project whose maintainers want severity and environment attached before an issue is filed
Tips to get more from it
- Repro steps are required, and the field's description shows the 1-2-3 format inline. Requiring this one field is the single biggest lever on report quality — resist making it optional even if a few reporters grumble.
- The severity options carry their definitions in the option text (data loss, key feature broken, workaround exists, visual only), so reporters self-triage more honestly than with bare Critical/Major labels. The ending screen sets expectations to match — edit both together.
- The file field takes up to three attachments at 25 MB each — sized for screen recordings, which resolve where-did-it-break debates faster than any written description.
Questions people ask
What makes a good bug report?
Steps to reproduce, expected versus actual behavior, the environment, and a screenshot or recording. This template requires the first and asks for the rest, which is why reports built on it are triage-ready on arrival.
Can users attach screen recordings to a bug report?
Yes — the upload field accepts any file type, up to three files at 25 MB each, which comfortably fits short screen recordings.
Can I customize the environment list?
The dropdown ships with the major browsers, iOS, Android, and API; add or remove entries in the field editor to match the platforms you actually support.
