Associated workflow creation
I'm a Jira Cloud user and begining from some version 6, I noticed that when I create a project, it automatically creates a Workflow and Issue Scheme that is prepended by the project key and which is a copy of the default scheme.
I always had to make a cleanup after creating a project.
Default workflow for new projects
I also miss a feature that would allow me to make a custom workflow (and globally custom project setting) the default for new projects I create.
Solution: Create with shared configuration
While searching, I noticed that with Jira Cloud which is version 7.1.0 at the time I write, there is a link at the bottom of the "Create project" wizard:
- The new created project will use the same configuration as the project I select
- There will be no creation of Workflow and Issue Scheme that I need to cleanup
This feature is a solution to the reported issues:

Also having a Jira 6.4 Hosted, the dialog is a bit different and unfortunately what I avoid is only the creation of Workflow and Issue Scheme. I have to click on "Jira Default Schemes":
The new project will have the default configuration that I will have to manually change, but no Workflow and Issue Scheme will be added to the system.
