Struggling to add a different issue type screen for a specific issue type in a project

Question

Greetings,

I have been taking JIRA courses, but I am still new to it.  I have a project with 8 issue types.  I want to have a specific screen for one of the issue types.  I created all the fields I need for the new screen and created an issue type and configured the screen.  I seem to be missing a step to have that one issue type screen pop up during create issue.  Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks for the help!  This helped organize it. Still piecing the logic together - but getting there.

Hi Eric,

there is a very nice picture in the Jira documentation on screens, schemes and fields.

I hope you don't get angry at me when I don't give you the solution right away. But I think there's much more value in this for you if you figure it out yourself. And everyone will agree that this is confusing and complicated and always will be a bit! ;)  Just follow the chart and you will get there. You already have the screen and issue type - just connect them. Best, Max
