Aligning defect template between agile and waterfall (traditional)

We started with a waterfall defect template.  Our company is rather process heavy for the defect is highly customized.  We are not setting up Agile work areas.  We must keep the defect formats the same across all defects.  It appears we are having to maintain completely separate templates and customize BOTH any time add/change a field on a defect.  That will ne a huge risk and overhead issue.  Is there any way we can use just one template for both agile and waterfall work areas?  (I'm the POD, our developer does not seem to know).

I think the simple answer is no. You can keep one single process description if you use process sharing, but that only works with one process and not with two different ones. I am also not aware of a public API that would copy all the changes to the process configuration (attributes, editor presentations etc.) over.

You can look if this answer https://jazz.net/forum/questions/48246/cloning-a-work-item-type provides you with some ideas. It is still a manual process.
