What is the impact of renaming an issue type ?

Question

Hi,

I have an issue type named as “Initiative”.

We have automations, Boards, filters built around it.

Now we are planning to rename this issue type as “Feature”.

What will be the impact of this change? Will there be any impact on JQL queries, filters, boards, automations, Advanced Roadmap plans and Structures?

Overall impact should be the same, just you would not be able to access the DB

Hi @Lukasz Grobelny

Thanks for sharing this. However, the answer you referred above is applicable for server.

I am looking an answer for cloud version of Jira.
