Duplicate configuration from one issue type to another (in Team Managed)

Question

Hello,

I'm using a Team Managed project.

I've configured the Task issue type with certain fields.

I want the exact same configuration for Bug, Subtask, and any other issue type I might create.

Is there a way to duplicate one issue type's configuration to another issue type, without brute-force configuring the other issue type the same way?

Thanks!

Agreed; that does seem like a helpful feature.  The idea of separation by issue type seems to support these are different "work item types", and so the needed data and configuration could be quite different...or the same as in your use case.

Thanks for attempting to help. Again, I am not looking for sharing any configurations between projects. I am looking to "share" configurations among the various issue types in a single project. I want, for example, the Bugs in my project to have the same configuration as the Tasks in my project. I spent time setting up the configuration of the Tasks in my project. It would be great if I did not need to do this all over to set up that same configuration for the Bugs in my project. In fact, it would be somewhat surprising if this weren't possible, as it seems like such a basic feature.

Thanks.

Thanks for clarifying, and you would need to configure them separately by project.  This is one of the advantages of the team-managed projects: individual configuration.

I have not seen any suggestions like adding/managing shared screen configurations between team-managed projects, but you could add that suggestion.
