How to apply a template to child work item or subtask

The app provides templates in the Create dialog when Create child work item or Create subtask button is used in the work item view.
It can be achieved by setting the Summary and at least one other field required for the given work item type.
It is common practice that the Description field is set as required. However in team-managed projects the Description can’t be set as required, so other field must be set.
