Multiple Custom Field Configurations in Same Project

Guilherme Vieira September 30, 2017

Hello guys!

I need to know if its possible setup something like this:

Project 01

Issues type 01 (Design)

  • assign
  • response
  • color choice

Issues type 02 (Online)

  • assign
  • response
  • date
  • type
  • delivery

Issues type 03 (Finalize project)

  • assign
  • response
  • Profile
  • setup
  • color mode

We just need to setup different screens/issues with individual setup of field on the same project.

Hi @Guilherme Vieira,

This is what issue type screen schemes are for. A good starting point in the documentation might be this page.

In short, you will need to:

  • Create different screens for creating / viewing / editing each issue type
  • Create a screen scheme combining those screens for each individual issue type, specifying which screen you want to use for the create / edit / view operations of that issue type.
  • Create an issue type screen scheme to associate the above screen scheme to the issue types of your project.

And then finally associate the issue type screen scheme with your project.

The problem is that certain fields might be required for specific issue types, but not for all issue types.  I don't think you can specific fields required in issue type screen schemes.

Hi @Nate_Martin,

Fields being required in the use case you describe is done through the validators in your workflow. As long as different issue types have their own workflow, you can perfectly make different fields required on different issue types.

Have a look at Atlassian documentation | advanced workflow configuration.

The article is about Cloud, but the same applies to Server/Data Center.
