I need step by step to Separate projects using a shared field configuration

Trena Norcia

I have a project that needs a field to be require but it is shared by several projects.

I need step by step how to set this project up separate so that the needed field can be configured as required


It is the SUFS project that needs to be the only one with the field "relate environment " required

These steps need to be executed by a Jira Administrator.

Create a new Field Configuration from "Bug Ticket Field Configuration"

5. Enter a name for the new field configuration scheme (i.e. SUFS Bug Ticket Field Configuration) and click Copy
6. Find the new Field Configuration you just created and click Configure.
7. Make the modifications you need to required fields for the SUSF project

Rename the original Field Configuration Scheme 

1. In the navigation pane on the left click on Field Configuration Schemes

Create a new Field Configuration Scheme

Swap the Field Configuration into the new Field Configuration Scheme

1. Find the new Field Configuration Scheme you just created and click the Configuration option displayed to the right of the scheme name.
2. Find the line item there where the Bug issue type is associated to the Bug Ticket Field Configuration.
3. Click the Delete option displayed to the right for that line item
4. If there is a line item for Bug Sub Task, do the same for it.
5. Click the button labeled "Associate an issue type with a field configuration"
6. Set the Issue Type field to Bug and set Field Configuration to the new Field Configuration you created.
7. Repeat that for the Bug Sub Task issue type

Associate the new Field Configuration Scheme with the project.

2. In the navigation pane click on Project Settings
3. In the navigation pane click on Issues, then Fields
