Board specific Create Issue form

Question

I am looking to create a Kanban board specific Create Issue form with custom fields and would like to know if the new custom form can be limited to be used by just by the board it's being customized for?

If so, what is the process to lock it down to the board?

Appreciate ay help, input or insight.

There is no separate create issue screen for Kanban board.

If your requirement is:

1 separate screen with a set of custom fields when user 'create' issue and a different set of custom fields for View/Edit of the the issues and

2. Restricting create issue screen to only a limited set of users and viewing and editing option to broader user base:

- Define one screen for Create Issue and another screen for View/Edit Issue.

- create 2 screen schemes one for Create and one for Edit and View

- You can link them to the Project and Issue - in the Configure Screen Scheme.

I am not clear what you meant by

...What I am looking to not have happen is that the custom fields I am looking to add to the Create Issue form are not made available for other boards within our JIRA environment.

If your Requirement is only limit a custom fields availability to a particular jira project, you can do that  using Custom Field context:

1. Custom Field context: Administration-Issues-Custom Fields - browse to the custom field, use the configure option, - you can limit the configure option to a particular project.

Or may be I don't understand your requirement clearly :)

Muthu_Thiruppandy thank you.

Follow up question - - how do you mean ..per Issue Type per project...?

Are you saying that if I create a specific issue type for my project, that would allow me to limit the use of the customized issue form to that specific board for the specific project?

If this is the case, how do you suggest I go about doing this?

What I am looking to not have happen is that the custom fields I am looking to add to the Create Issue form are not made available for other boards within our JIRA environment.

Again, thanks and appreciate your taking the time.

I do not think there is a Kanban board specific create Issue screen option.

You can have a create issue screen per Issue Type per project that will be used wherever you try to create an issue for that project and the Issue Type

- You can customize the list of fields for the Issue Detail view on the Kanban board

- You can create a sub-task for an existing issue from the issue detail view - that will use the create screen tied to the respective sub-task
