Is the issue type configurable in Jira Product Discovery?

Question

Hi team,

I'd like to create a custom issue type in Jira Product Discovery project, however, it seems couldn't been added. I reviewed the know limitations here, but didn't find any clarified answer to it.

Could you please help to share more information about this?

Thanks in advance!

Hi there, you can now create different types of ideas in a JPD project. Just open Project Settings and go to the Types section.

You can also start creating custom product hierarchies (e.g. Opportunities-Solutions, parent-child and more) using a feature from the Jira Product Discovery Premium plan.

About the feature:

* Custom product hierarchies

About the JPD Premium plan:

* JPD Premium landing page (to sign-up)
* JPD Premium FAQ
* JPD Premium implementation guide

We have the following idea types:

Idea - Represents an input. Much the same as an insight, but more flexible.

Theme - Used to group related ideas.

Story - A part of a feature. May get translated into serveral "tasks" in Jira Software. Is related to Ideas.

Feature - Something we build. Becomes an "epic" in Jira Software. Is related to Ideas and Stories.

Objective - Something we want to achieve with the stuff that we build. Is related to features.

Metric - Something we measure. Has a target and actual. Is related to objectives.

We use automation to add an "ídea type character" to the summary, so that it is easy to see the type.

We also use automation to update text fields with the names of related stuff. Makes it easier to see what is related to what in the roadmap.
