Different screen for different boards (but boards for the same project), is it possible?

[Max]

Could you help me to understand?

I want to create different screen for creating the issue.

Here is the example:

For one board I want to add a few fields (these fields should be spesific just for this board) lets name "board 1"so by creating the issue on this Board 1 - I should fill the info on such fields (I know how to create it).

For another board, let's name it "Board 2" I don't want to ask the fields I've mentioned before.

Two boards (1 and 2) from the same project. But creating issue on Board 1 requiers to add info in additional fields and creating the issue on Board 2 don't have these fields at ll. Is it possible? It ould be great to get some info.

Hi @Max 

The way you are seeing screens is not the right one. Boards have nothing to do with the Screens.

Here is an amazing post on how to configure the issue-type screens:

 Hi @Aaron Pavez _ServiceRocket_ thank you so much, I am starting to read the links. It's great to get such a quick reply. Have a nice day!

I think it's not possible to separate the screen for the same type of issue (for the bugs type, let's say) on the same project, depending of the boards. I wanted to get different screen on different boards. So I assume it not works like this:

I got one project, name it "General", for example.

Two boards on the same Project "General", "Board 1" and "Board 2".

I want to create following screen scheme:

Project name "General", "Board 1" screen for the type "Bug" should have 1 custom field.

The same project "General", but "Board 2" screen for the type "Bug" as well, but screen here should not have 1 custom field.

I think I can differ the screen depending on the type of issue only.

But screen of the same type of issue in one project it's not possible.

As I've mentioned before I want to separate the screen on the different boards (but the same project and the same type of issue).

I am trying to elaborate my thought to simplify the understanding :)

Thanks all of you for your work here.

Hi @Max 

The way you see it it's not possible. Boards don't have anything to do when you create a Jira issue.

The board is a way to show the Jira issues and to move them from status to status.

If you have the Bug issue type, the screens added to it will be shown every time you click on the CREATE button and when you move in the workflow.

> As I've mentioned before I want to separate the screen on the different boards (but the same project and the same type of issue).

It is only possible on issue types. Might be worth using another issue type.

It might be worth to check a plugin for that. A plugin for sure can show/hide a field based on conditions.
