Configure issues by project category

Question

Is there a way I can setup my fields and screens for issues to be uniform (at least by default) with custom fields for every project that gets created in a category?

From what I could find it looks like people have been asking for something like this as far back as 4  years ago but I have not seen any ways to accomplish this.

Edit

To clarify I am using the Cloud version.

Creating custom projects is what I am looking into right now but have not found where I start that yet. Thank you for the great ideas.

Hmmm - I'm not familiar with ScriptRunner on Cloud. unfortunately.

Even without ScriptRunner's Copy Project script, you could technically create a project from scratch all using the same schemes. You could create a set of schemes that will always be applied to projects within a category.

You would just have to set each scheme manually whenever you create a new project. It'll take longer than with the script, but as long as those projects share schemes, you shouldn't have to adjust each field/screen manually - they should all match and any changes you make to a scheme would be reflected across all projects.

Interesting, would that work on the cloud version? I just remembered that it might make a difference.

Still sounds like more work than should be necessary but certainly better than manually adjusting each field/screen.
