How to change the default priority from Blocker to Medium

Question

In one my project, any ticket that is created is prioritized as blocker by default. So while showing to client, all the tickets are represented as blockers which is not true.

How can I change this default blocker to medium, where later I can change it to appropriate priority based on the client discussions.

Hi @Yogita Karangula

Go to Issues -> Priority Schemes.

Find your scheme and click Edit.

There will be the Default Priority field, where you can choose the default priority for the Priority Scheme.

If you only have a single Priority Scheme, create a new one and set the default priority and associate that with the required project.

Otherwise your change will impact all projects using the priority scheme you are changing the default for.
