Hello @Shefali Tayade

What you are looking for is to create screens, screen schemes and issue type screen schemes.

Screens

* Navigate to Settings > Issues > Screens
* Copy some of the screens (best practice) and then remove the fields and also rename the screen so it has the name of your issue type:  example - PROJ: Question Issue Type Screen (there are three types of screens: create , edit , view screen) - each issue type can have all of three of these screens
* Adjust the fields that you want to use for your Question issue type
* Go to Settings > Issues > Screen Schemes
* Copy a screen scheme then rename it containing the name of your issue type in it

Screen Schemes

* Navigate to your created screen and associate the issue operations (create, edit , view - this depends which ones do you need)
* Each operation can be associated with different screens - link your newly created screen with the screen scheme

Note: For create operation have one screen and for view/edit operations have a second screen.

Issue Type Screen Scheme

* Configure your issue screen scheme for the project you are on currently 
* Select your issue type
* Select the screen scheme that you have previously created
