Hi @shahjad ahemad 

You can create a text field, which you will copy the issue key. But in general you can't create an "issue type" type field, and an "issue key" type of field.

No, both the issue type and issue key are unique (and structural) system fields.

You could create text or select lists that hold data with the same names as your issues and keys, but they won't take over from the issue type or key, they'll just be data points on an issue.
