Can I change the default priority of new issues?

Rik Nackaerts

Can I change the default priority of new issues created through the Customer Portal? By default all the new issues are 'Medium' prioritized. Is it possible to change that? Is configurable per Service Desk or is it a global setting?

Regards

Rik

Hi Rik,

Please take a look on this article to see how to change the default priority. smile

Yes. You can change the global settings.

if you want to change for a particular workflow just do the following:

Add a 'Update Issue Field' post function to the 'create' transition.

Make sure to add this post function to the number 1 spot - before the issue is created. :

example:

The following will be processed after the transition occurs

The Priority of the issue will be set to High.
Creates the issue originally.
Re-index an issue to keep indexes in sync with the database.

I overlooked that section

Krister Persson

IN Jira Service Desk I have found a way to set the Issue Priority default value (not the default set of values) when customer submits the value. That is done via
Service Desk >> (your specific service desk) >> Settings >> (your Request Type of choice) >> Edit Fields

Add field "Priority" and submitted when issue is created as a hidden field. In that case JIra SD asks for a default value.

My following question. Is it possible to make this happen - the preset value/default value is shown if you chose to create an issue independent of issue type directly from JIRA (outside of JIRA SD)?

Krister Persson

That is via the create screen in JIRA Screen scheme for current SD JIra project.

Log on as an administrator.

Find the admin part and issue section,you can find "Priorities" under "Issue Attributes",then set default priority you want.

Genius !

This solution has to by integrated on the Atlassian doc

Thank you Adrian

Thx for the answer. To push this further can I set this default priority for just jiras in one specific project or to specific jira types within a project? so not to affect the priority on other jiras of other projects ?

Shawn McKay

I have this same question. Can I change the default priority based on issue type?

Adrian Vital

hmmm... tricky.

How about using Behaviour? You can set a behavior to run only on a specific Project and Issue type. Then you can limit which Priority Options that can be used for that specific issue type. In my example below If issue type is "bug" the only priorities in the drop down menu are "low and "High".

1. Create a new behavior

2. Select the Project(s) and Issue Type(s) impacted

3. Create Initializer script:

import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor
import com.atlassian.sal.api.user.UserManager

import static com.atlassian.jira.issue.IssueFieldConstants.PRIORITY
def constantsManager = ComponentAccessor.getConstantsManager()

def userUtil = ComponentAccessor.getUserUtil()
log.debug ComponentAccessor.getComponent(UserManager)

def currentUser = ComponentAccessor.getJiraAuthenticationContext().getLoggedInUser();

def allowedPriorities = [:];
//limit priority to priority low and high. ***Check the priority id on your instance
def priorities = [10, 11];
for(int i=0; i<priorities.size(); i++)
{
def object = constantsManager.getPriorityObject(priorities[i].toString());
allowedPriorities.put(object.id, object.name);
}

getFieldById(PRIORITY).setFieldOptions(allowedPriorities)

André Neves

Arthur, can you quote the relevant section?

The only reference to "default" that I see in that page is this:

JIRA applications come with a set of default priorities

Gilbert Louis_26mip3

Thank you for your detailled response. Unfortunately I'm not a developer... more a user so not sure what to do with the code you provided.

Ryan An

@Arthur Gonçalves maybe the article is changed? I can't find that either.

Help Desk Support

This is a great piece of information thanks for sharing!

luka montin_psfxzy

this is good but it will also force the priority set in the post function even if the user sets the value. Is there a way to only use the set value if the user doesnt set it themselves .. on workflow by workflow basis rather than for all workflows via the global setting

Ali Altiparmak_7rginu

For next-gen projects;

Project Settings
Issue Types
Select related type
Select priority
There is an option "Default priority"

Bart Lamberigts

In the 'Edit priority scheme' screen (Administration -> Issues -> Priority schemes), there is an option called 'Default priority'. Be aware that you cannot edit the default priority scheme, so you will need to copy it or create a new one.

Michael van Niekerk

I do not see Priority schemes as an option....

I am an admin please help.

suresh arumugham_vs2644

In the server version -

Go to Project Settings, Select Summary. If you go all the way down, you should be able to see the Priorities and the Priority Scheme associated with your project

Jamie Zeidler

For Cloud "Classic" projects..

Go to Settings > Issues
In the left col, under "Issue Attributes" select Priorities
This screen you can create and manage the different Priorities
On the far right, click on Default next to the Priority you want set for new issues.

Hi @Ali Altiparmak

According to the method you provided, I did not find the option of priority, I only saw the corresponding workflow and domain in the corresponding problem, can you tell me in detail how to find the default priority you said

arno_5u8914

Hi @Young.Zhao

Can you tell me where to set the problem properties, I do not find the specific Settings screen

arno_5u8914

Hi @Bart Lamberigts

Many projects in our system use the "default priority scheme". When creating issue before, the default was "Medium". A few days ago, when colleagues gave feedback on creating issue, the default was "Blocker". It is indicated that the "default priority scheme" cannot be changed, and no modification permission is displayed during operation. Then what is the cause of our problem? Do you have relevant solutions, thank you

Ali Altiparmak_7rginu

Hi Arno,
Look at this wider SS, I hope it works for you.

Thank you for your reply

This seems to be the cloud version, we are currently using the server version, there is no corresponding interface, thank you for your help
