Cannot add issues to new project

Mitchell Kahn

I have to say, Jira is a ludicrously difficult to configure product.

I am an ADMINISTRATOR, I created a new Scrum project and I cannot create issues for said project. I have tried:

 

1) deleting the project, recreating

2) adding myself in permissions for the project (even though I am an ADMIN)

3) Pretty much every knob I could find (and there are a lot, hidden in many places). The new UI is just a prettier version, but still bad.

 

When I click on the (+) icon, the dropdown box does not include my new project (or several others we have). Why not? What buried permission BS do I need to twiddle.

 

If I sound exasperated, I am. I've pretty much had it with this product.

Click on JIRA Administration > Projects

Click on your project from the list. Click on Issue Types, from there Click on Actions > Edit Issue Types

Add Issue Types to your project. After that you can add those issue types to your project.
