How to create a new issue type?

[Fahad Akhtar]

Hi,

I want to create a new issue type, but want to apply all of the same schemes I use for all of my projects to this new issue type. How would I do that?

Regards,

Hi @Fahad Akhtar 

To create a new issue type, if you are on a CMP:

• Go to cog > issues
• Issue types > Add New issue type

Now you have to add this issue type to your issue type scheme

• From the screen you are, choose issue type schemes
• Edit all individual issue type schemes and Add your issue type to them

Then you have to create one or more issue screens for your issue type:

Then configure your issue type screen scheme

Finally you have to associate your issue type with the workflows of your project
