I want to have diffrenciated Priorities associated with different types of tasks. For example, High/Medium/Low for user stories and P0-P1-P3 for Bugs, Is it possible to have two types of priorities in the same space?

Priorities are set to schemes for the space, you can't create separate schemes by work type. 

But you can create a custom field for one of them and maybe use automation to set the priority field based on that.

Hello @Julieta Gorga 

You can create a new priority scheme and assign it to your project. Before that you can create and add P0,P1,P2 as other priorities. To have it separated, no. Unless you create P0,P1 and P3 to be a custom field and add the context of the custom fields to be shown only on Bugs.

Hi @Julieta Gorga ,

You can have also keep a single field and show different options for Bugs vs Stories (same space). This article may help you, it covers that exact workaround pattern with a behaviour layer:  Adapt Options for a Select Field by Work Type in Same Space- No Code Behaviours Builder Show Case.
