Restore a deleted Request Type

[Terry A Davidson]

How do I restore a Request Type that I accidently deleted?  Is there a way to have Jira ask me to confirm that I want to delete a Request Type? It happened so quick!

@Terry A Davidson ,

I'm not aware of a way to recover unless you have a backup tool add-on tool . Unfortunately, it is gone for good. Same if you delete an issue.

Hi @Terry A Davidson 

I'd check if you have either...

• A recent backup of your Cloud instance you could restore - either partially for this Project, or into a separate instance so you can copy/recreate the Request Type
• A recent copy of your instance in the Sandbox, which you could restore from

You can contact Support as @Fernando Eugênio da Silva mentioned but usually deletions you made yourself or something you should have backed up, and have the ability to reverse.

Backup is key here, either you do it yourself or use an app available in the marketplace to automate the operation!

Is not possible to restore a deleted Request Type nativally.

Maybe if you restore all Jira site backup you could had the old Request Type. But in general case I recommended you open a ticket for Atlassian Support and they can confirm this information with you.
