Archive/hide issues in single project

Question

Team,

We are using currently jira v7.12.x and the requirement is user does not want to see the existing issue of this project but they want to use this project for upcoming work.

What would be the best way to achieve this.

Hi!

I think the right way is to stay issues in current project.

Then you can update issues Security Level just to 'admin`s view'.

Look throught this article - Configuring issue-level security

Hi @Yogesh Mude

An alternative to the above is to create a Trash / Archive project - and move all the issues into it. That saves you having multiple archives unless there is a need to keep them isolated from other "archive" issues.

You could also delete them - I would advise against doing this though as deletion is permanent, so if you wanted to get these issues back again later it would be an issue.

To add - one benefit of @DPKJ 's solution is that you would start again from XXX-1 - if you did move the issues to an archive you would still start at one after whichever ID was the last to be created sequentially.

Best way is,

* Rename the project and project of existing project (you can prefix project name with 'Archive' and key with 'A')* https://confluence.atlassian.com/jiracoreserver/editing-a-project-s-details-938846223.html

* Archive this renamed project,* https://confluence.atlassian.com/adminjiraserver/archiving-a-project-938847621.html

* Create new project with old name and key.
