Issue type usage

[Tomas Gustavsson]

Is there a way to see if an issue type has been used or not, and in that case how often it has be chosen?

via e.g Scriptrunner.

you could use a dashboard and add a pie chart to display by issuetype.

Will try that, thanks for a real quick answer.

Just as information Issue Statistics was even better, as i were looking for a list. 

[Tomas Gustavsson]

Follow up question, i did a search on issue type is not empty, and used this filter in the dashboard gadget Issue statistic and got a long list that showed 162 issue types of 278 is in use and how often. 

As an extra check, i double check a couple of issue types that were showed as, not in use, and i could then find that some of these had been in use, but that all issues for these issue types were resolved.

Now to my question: 
Does Jira or the gadget make any limitation, on e.g active issues, meaning not resolved once or can it be that we have to many issues in total and there were an limitation in the JQL Query of some sort? 

our jira contains

Issue Types	278
Issues	496520
