Documentation on setting up Issue Types

Frank Kopankiewitz March 7, 2019

I'm looking for a guide that outlines how to set up a new issue type along with all the other components, including schemes.  If there's a best practice guide that would be best.

 

thanks.

You can learn about how to create issue types here: https://confluence.atlassian.com/adminjiraserver/defining-issue-type-field-values-938847087.html  and how to associate them with projects through schemes here: https://confluence.atlassian.com/adminjiraserver/associating-issue-types-with-projects-938847092.html

I wouldn't say that there are best practices around issues types other than keep it simple and create ones that help you meet your teams needs.

I would add as best practice that the fewer issue types you have, the easier it would be to manage Jira
