Idea TYPES in JPD: Rename "Idea"

[Katrin Erhardt]

Hello,

we would like to use the new Idea TYPES in JPD but for our use case the type "idea" is not suitable. Will there be an option to rename this one?

Hi @Jet ,

thanks for your reply!

I can change or delete the idea types that I add myself at any time, but the first entry in the list -> “idea”, cannot be changed or deleted. You can see it in the attached screenshot.
When I hover over it no pencil is displayed for editing. This entry is grayed out/disabled for editing/deleting.

The background to my question is that we want to use JPD for our IT portfolio and categorize submitted ideas as "project", "CR" or "procurement". We therefore do not need "idea" as category.

Thanks for the context @Katrin Erhardt - you are correct for now you can't edit the name of that type - it's something we need to improve.

Hi @Katrin Erhardt 

You can rename the idea type to any name you want using custom idea types.

Read more about how to configure that here https://support.atlassian.com/jira-product-discovery/docs/create-and-configure-idea-types/

I'm also curious to hear what you would like to name them?
