How can I access to the create Priority Scheme?

[Jesus Perez]

I'm trying to create differents priority cateogries for differents project, and I saw in the community that Jira has an option to create Priority Scheme and assign them to an specific project, but I cannot see that option, seems like is disable or hidden.

I'm using this Jira version:

[Nic Brough -Adaptavist- · Accepted solution]

Cloud does not yet have priority schemes.  You still have the single global "scheme" that applies to all projects.

[Jesus Perez]

too bad, I'm dealing with a project that needs different kind of priorities and is kind of annoying to have ALL that priorities that won't be used.

Do you know if there is another option to set specific priorirites to a project? I mean some ad-don or something like that?

[Nic Brough -Adaptavist-]

Eh?  That can't help you.  Cloud is a different product to Server.  It doesn't have the priority schemes.

There are no add-ons that I know of that provide it (I don't think they can, because the priority is system stuff)

[Jesus Perez]

Oh! Ok I see now, well thanks anyway for your help and comments!!

=(

[Josh Polsky]

Is it on the roadmap to add Priority Schemes to Cloud? 

[Daniel McLetchie]

Is there any update on this as I need to add different Priorities to different projects using JIRA cloud

[Nic Brough -Adaptavist-]

Nope, there's no change, Atlassian have no plans to bring priority schemes to Cloud.

[Tracy Wray]

I think this could be helpful, as well, so I created this Feature Idea for this: https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/JSWCLOUD-21455

You can vote for "Priority schemes" in Jira Cloud here: https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/JRACLOUD-3821.

Almost 2 years in, the Early Access Program for Priorities per project aka Priority Schemes for Cloud is now open for signup: https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Jira-articles/Join-Atlassian-s-Early-Access-Program-for-Priorities-per-Project/ba-p/2443410

Priorities per project for jira cloud is still not genreally rolled out. 

[Sam Elshiwick]

will this be changed for the cloud version? it's been asked for several times 

[Nic Brough -Adaptavist-]

Cloud is not going to get priority schemes apparently.  Next-Gen projects may enable per-project priorities internally though.

[Mikaela Bertucci]

seriously???? It is very important to be able to set your own priority schemes

[Nic Brough -Adaptavist-]

You'll need to move to Server or DC if you want to have priority schemes.

[Ronald Vallenduuk]

With all due respect, that sucks.

If Jira Server can have priority schemes, then why can't Cloud?

Next-Gen is useless for our company but we could really do with priority schemes for proper projects in Jira Cloud.

[Nic Brough -Adaptavist-]

Different software going in a different direction.  Atlassian have no plan for priority schemes in Cloud

[Jimmy Lipham]

Agreed, this is really really stupid. We pay a ton of money to Craplassian for JIRA and we really could benefit from different priority schemes as others here have also clamored for.

Please implement this... clearly it would be welcomed.

[Henry Lepsi]

Very disappointing that Jira Cloud has no priority schemes. Particularly since Atlassian is making everyone move from Server to Cloud.

Very important to us, since we have various types of projects ... some are internal, some are business managed and some are basically vendor lead with their own priority levels.

Please implement this ... it would be very welcome!

[Rick Johnson]

Thanks for the work-around. I have the same issue.

Hi,

I am facing the same issue. Looking for priority scheme to create more priority as per my projects and associate to related projects. This is a common feature and should include in Cloud version.

Hi, Jesus, how you create custom field for priorities to workaround this issue.

[Jesus Perez]

Well, you need to go to the Project's Setting and under the Issues Option go to the Custom fields section.

Son into there you can create a field with a type as "Select List (single choice)" and configure the priorities option.

Once you have your custom field created you need to associate it with a Screen, so for that you need to enter once again to the custom field screen and look for the one that you just create and then under the ellipsis symbol select the "Screen" option so you check the screen that is related to you project and you will have the field available for that screen you just need to go to that screen and make it visible.

Hope this information can help you!! 

Note: The problem here is that into your backlog view you wont have it available, you need to open each each to see that custom field.

[manoj kumar]

Thanks Jesus,

I will try this.

[Loretta Bredice]

Hi Jesus,

not sure if you sorted the problem yet but I was having the same problem and saw a suggestion a in another ticket saying "create a custom field for priorities"; I haven't tried that yet (I'll try this afternoon) but it looks like the only feasible solution for me

Kind regards

Loretta

[Jesus Perez]

The Priority Scheme is not available for Cloud Version, so maybe that's the reason you neither can do it.

But, yes, the costume field seems like is another way to do it, the only thing is that is difficult to set it as a part of the preview screen. or in the quick view from the backlog list, which is important to have it for the PO, you know! I mean for now the costume field is the only way to do it, I tried it and is ok.

Jesus,

Are you a JIRA admin in your project.? If not, only your JIRA Admin can do so.

[Jesus Perez]

Yes I'm Jira Admin but now I saw that for Cloud is not available that option :(

[Victor Mutambuki]

My apologies, i should've noticed that you were using the cloud version.

[Jesus Perez]

Do you know if I can get the desktop version like for free trial, apply the configuration and then get the Cloud configured?

[Nic Brough -Adaptavist-]

My answer to that seems to have vanished.

No, you can't - the schemes are done in code, not configuration.

[Victor Mutambuki]

Jesus,

Go to project settings of your project --> click on Priorities (as shown in attachment) --> Click on View Priority Schemes (as shown in attachment) --> Add a Priority --> Create a priority and associate with your project.

Victor

[Jesus Perez]

I just can see that "Action" option :(

This is my screen and when I go to priorities those are the option that I get.
