Is it possible to create two type of tasks: Jira Task and Custom Task

Question

I have the following problem:

1) I want Jira to let me create a regular task. I want the task to let my choice a project I need and issue the type I need.

2) I want Jira to let me create a custom task. I do not need to choose a project and issue type. These two fields (project, issue type) do not have to be required.

Is it possible to have it in Jira?

* I tend to use a simple cron job on a server to poke an issue into Jira over the REST API, but you could also write an internal service using one of the automation or scripting apps that are available for Jira
* This cannot be done.  Issues live inside projects and have to have a type (all the configuration and storage hangs off project and issue type)

Hello @Ivan_Kann

Jira is not working like that, scheme (issue type, screen, notification workflow...) need to associated to a project to used them. This being said, you need a project that will allow you to choose wich type of issue (that are referenced in the issuetype scheme) you will create in the project.

The first screenshot in this documentation explain very well how Jira is working
