Can i change "Business" Type to "Software" Type in Jira Localhost?

[Rifqi M. Riefard]

I am researching the kanban board feature in Jira, I intend to create a plugin that can modify the Jira kanban board. I use the Atlassian Plugin SDK with atlas version 8.2.10, AMPS Version 8.14.3, Apache Maven Version 3.9.5, and Jira version 8.20.0.

I experienced problems with not being able to find the kanban board when running the Jira application on localhost. I tried looking for answers in the community and found that when creating a project, the project type must be "Software" while the default option in my Jira Localhost is "Business". I have followed all the steps up to selecting the project type. I only have the Business option on Jira localhost and there is no Software type, I attach the related screenshot. Is there any suggestion on how I can get the Software options on this Jira Localhost type project or is there a way how I can modify the Kanban Board in Jira?

Hi @Rifqi M. Riefard,

Looks like you've installed Jira Core only. To create Software projects, you need Jira Software.

To install Jira Software, please refer to the Installing Jira applications guide. Hope it helps!
