When on Azure DevOps when creating a new Board item the new item is empty then I can go to the top right and select a template.
What I want is to do that automatically. I want for a template to be loaded into the newly created item without me going directly to the template option on the top right. I want the template to be present right after pressing the New item button.
What you can do is to copy the template link and put it in the dashboard, then, click on the link will open a new work item with the template.
1) Open settings for a team.
2) Expand Boards and choose Team Configuration. Then, choose Templates.
3) Copy the template link.
4) Go to the Dashboard, add a Markdown widget and paste the link.
Inside a work item when you select Actions-->Template-->Capture (just to pick up a properly done template) I can not edit/delete templates that have been done this way.
Also notice that when created the way you mention after a while the template dissapears :S
To mention they dissapear from the Template Configuration but still accessible through the URL.
