Cloning Issue type between projects

[mdeloreto]

Is it possible to clone an issue type from one project into another?  I don't want to clone a specific issue, just the issue type so I can have all the same fields/order/etc., made available for a different project.

Hello @mdeloreto 

What is the project type for the source project and the destination project? You can get that information by looking at the entries for each project in the View All Projects page under the Projects menu.

If the source or destination project is Team Managed, the answer is no.

If the source and destination projects are both Company Managed, then the answer is maybe. A number of additional questions need to be answered such as:

1. Do the projects use the same Field Configuration Scheme?

2. If not, does the destination project share its Field Configuration Scheme with one or more other projects?

3. Do the projects use the same Issue Type Screen Scheme?

4. If not, does the destination project share its Issue Type Screen Scheme with one or more other projects?

In any case there is no simple, one step process for what you want to do. It would be a multiple step process.
