Changing the Default Screen Scheme on Project Creation

Kelsey Mitchell_70owur

When a Jira project is created, a new screen scheme and screens are created by Jira. We'd like to edit that default so that the fields on the screens are custom to our use and the scheme is as well.

Editing it after the fact is very time consuming. Either we need to delete and add the fields to each screen. Or we need to copy each of the default screens and screen scheme and associate the project with that. We'd like it to happen on project creation, since Jira is already creating those screens by default.

Hi,

Changing the default settings of Jira to create a new project, I think is not possible. The official statement on copying Jira projects can be found here.

But you can create a new project using "shared configuration". The documentation says:

When you are creating a new project, select Create with shared configuration to select an existing project and to use that project's schemes. Note that when you're sharing schemes, any change to the scheme will affect all the projects using that scheme.

 Or you can use paid or free third party addon like:

• Jira Command Line Interface (CLI)  (Paid)
• ScriptRunner for Jira (Paid)
• Standalone Project Template for Jira (Free)
