"Dirt simple"? Default issue type set to "Epic" but still getting "Story" when I hit Create...

Question

Hi

I changed the default issuetype for a company-managed project's issuetype scheme from "story" to "epic".    For me, create still defaults to "story" and same for some other users, while one use reports that it correctly defaults to "epic" for her.

This is Jira cloud.

I thought this change would be "dirt simple".   What am I missing?

Thanks

Carl

Thanks Trudy, I had a look at cookies from Atlassian but didn't see anything obvious related to this.   My guess would be they implemented this as a user preference, so it doesn't depend on the browser that the user happens to use.

It may be recorded in the browser cache...?

I tested now and it unfortunately does not take the "default issuetype" per issuetype scheme.   After logging out, back in again, it still defaulted to Story on my Create.   Hmmm, not what my users wanted, but oh well.
