how to rename existing issue type in jira for a project, when the existing issue type is also used by other projects issue screens.

I just want to rename the issue type name used only to my project screen and not to other project screen

Hi Rashmi - Welcome to the Atlassian Community!

You cannot rename it for just one project. If you want to use a different name, then you need to create a new Issue Type and add it to the Issue Type Scheme for that project.
