Missing "Create Issue" action link/ button

John Alton

Newbie question: I don't have a "Create Issue" button on our demo version of JIRA.

The demo license shows 20 days remain on our trial.

I can't find documentation that tells me how to get that button to appear.

I'm looking at the image on this page, and expecting it to display these action links:

1. "+ Create Issue"
2. "Create: Improvement | Bug | Other"

I confirmed that I am setup with "jira-administrators" rights.

Any help greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Having Administrator right doesn't guarantee Create permission. See if you have Create permission.

Thank you, Jobin! Checking now. (Hoping it will be this easy.)

Must be. Creating Issue is what JIRA is for

John Alton

Good news: It was just that easy! Thank you, sir.

I'm still not seeing it in the kanban board. I could create an issue by clicking the add in the TODO column but after that was done, I don't see the "create" button.

WHY?

Greg Smith_32uedu

Just saw there is no create button. Only a + sign at the left.

Being Jira a very intricate application with lots of menus and such, you should AVOID making any UI changes, otherwise your users will be always lost and uncomfortable.

Thanks for the tip Greg. Indeed, I would have prefer a nice big Create button durectly on the Kanban.

I agree. Not having a "Create Issue" button at the top-right of the page is confusing for new users.
