I want to Delete an issue type. But I don't have alternative issue type for it.

Question

After calling rest API "Get alternative issue type" for a particular issue type with its "id" empty list([ ]) is coming as an output.

When I delete that issue type I don't have a alternative issue type to replace that for my issues. Any suggestions would be appreciable.

Thanks!!

Hi @[deleted],

you need to move all your existing issues associated to that type to another one before removing the issue type itself.
