Add issue type to existing Jira software projects

Yuliia Vyborova

Hello! We created a new issue type CVE and want to add it to all our engineering projects in Jira Software. I created Screen Scheme, Issue Type Screen Scheme, Workflow and associated issue type to Issue Type Screen and Workflow. Where I stuck is adding issue type to a Project. When I add new issue type, it is added as Default Field Configuration and Default Screen Scheme (see screenshot). But I need to add it as CVE Screen and CVE Workflow. How can I associate Screen and workflow properly and not mess up existing issue type settings (tasks, bugs, epics, etc)?

Here is CVE Screen Scheme

Hello @Yuliia Vyborova 

A project can have only one Issue Type Screen Scheme associated with it, so creating a new Issue Type Screen Scheme for the one new issue type is not necessary.

If you want to add a new issue type to the project and give that issue type a unique set of screens you have to:

1. First add the new issue type to the Issue Type Scheme associated with the project.

2. Then modify the Issue Type Screen Scheme. The new issue type will have been automatically associated to an Screen Scheme. You have to change the Issue Type Screen Scheme to associate the new issue type to the Screen Scheme you created specifically for it.

 

Similarly a project can have only one Workflow Scheme associated to it. After adding the new issue type to the Issue Type Scheme of the project you will have to modify the project's Workflow Scheme to associate that new issue type to the Workflow that you created for it.
