How to change Field Configuration for particular Issue Type

Debankur Ghosh_gl0zf1

My Project has two Issue types:  

1. Defect 
2. Test

and two Field Configurations : 

1. Default Field Configuration
2. Test Field Configuration

Both the issue types are mapped to Default Field Configuration. How can I change the Field Configuration for Test issue type and set Test Field Configuration for it.

Please help. Thanks!!

The field configuration tells an issue how to behave for each field, but you tell a project which field configuration to use for each issue type with a field configuration scheme.

If you look at the field configuration scheme for your project, that is where you will be able to set things like "defect = use default field config" and "test = use test field config".

Be careful to check that your field configuration scheme is not used by many projects - if it is, you will be affecting all of them if you change it, which you might not want.  If you do just want to change on project, you will need a new field configuration scheme.
