When I create an issue within my custom issutype...

Question

When I create an issue within/sitting in my custom issutype, the issuetype is of the same type as my custom issuetype, but I want it to be of issuetype Bug. Do I spescify this in my custom workflow steps? Because there I can see that my 'Create my issutype. uses the default screen, and it is also the screen showing up as I want, but it is of the same type as the same custom issuetype I am sitting in when creating a new issue (using my own statuses and transistsions).

Mmm, well, that's not going to happen, there's simply no structure there to allow it.

The best you can do is to have a transition screen that prompts the user for information, and a post-function or listener that scans the information and creates your new issue separately from the current issue, when the user commits their change.

Or, you coul dput something on the screen that the user clicks, and it pops a second Jira window with the "create issue" screen pre-populated for them, but that will still leave the original issue sitting there waiting for them to commit the transition (which they don't actually have to do)

Yes, what I want to do in practice is while progressing to a workflow for my custom issuetype, I want to click on a button and create a bug that is linked to that custom issue.

Ok?

Ok, so, to repeat this back to make sure I have understood...

You want to create an issue as you progress through the workflow of an existing issue.  For example, if you click "move to testing" on ABC-123, then ABC-155 gets created.

How are you doing that at the moment?  There is no mechanism for it in Jira at all, so I don't know what you've set up, unless you've got some plugin that tries to do it.  If that's the case, then what is the plugin?
