The order of the fields on the input mask

[Ernest Pramenko]

Hi guys

How to configure the order of the fields on the value mask, namely now it imposes them pointlessly through the dialog.?

Is it possible to configure different fields on different types of tasks?

Thanks up front!

I am sorry, I don't understand the first half of your question.  What do you mean by "mask" and "imposes them pointlessly"?

You can configure different fields on different issue types, and there's several ways to do it - context, field configuration and screens can all be used to control what fields appear for an issue.

To reply on first part of the question... and I apologize for the incomprehensible description.

When creating a task by clicking the "Create" button you define the content of the task.
In the dialog that appears with this action, there are fields that have been previously defined.
So.. how to sort the fields so that it makes sense.. Let's say I want to have the Epic link field at the beginning of the dialog and not at the end.

Thanks

Ok, thank you for clarifying!

You'll need to look at what type of project you are using - company managed or team-managed, because they do this in different ways.  Look to the bottom left of your screen when you're in an issue or project view.

In a company-managed project, the order of the fields is defined by the "screen".  A screen is just an ordered list of fields to present to the users when they do something with an issue.   Go to project settings -> Issues -> screens, and you'll see a list of screens in use for most actions on the different issue types.  It's normal to see one single screen in use for all actions on most issue types, and then have different screens in use for the exceptions like Epic and sub-tasks.  You'll see the actions are create, edit and view.  Descend into the "create" screen for your story issue type and you'll see you can add, remove and reorder the fields in it.  (The other action is "transition", but you have to look in the workflow to see these, as they can vary by transition)

In a team-managed project, it is sort of similar in the add/remove/rearrange, but it doesn't show you "screens", you get to it by going to administrate the issue type.

Yes, we use company managed projects and your guidance was very helpfull, thank you.
I honestly thought I was going to lose my mind.
But I don't understand the part where you describe the following:

Descend into the "create" screen for your story issue type and you'll see you can add, remove and reorder the fields in it.
Could you direct me a little more precisely, please.

Thanks up front!

Go to project settings -> Issues -> screens, and you'll see a list of screens in use for most actions on the different issue types.

Find the screen mapped to "create" in there and click on the link to it.  You will land in a screen that allows you to add, remove, and re-arrange fields.
