Hi @Irfan_Javeed,

Try this:

  1. Navigate to the project you're wanting to add the issue type to, and go to project settings
  2. Click on the 'issue types' option in the project settings' menu
  3. Click on 'Actions' and then 'Edit issue types' - this is another way of getting to the correct issue type scheme that the project uses
  4. Drag across the test issue type from the left to the right, then click Save

Hope this helps!

I believe the problem disappears when you open a new project it goes to the menu you mentioned. I tried with a new project and follow steps

With default , first created project I got attached menu and it was not letting me to move forward.

@Irfan_Javeed I see from your screenshots that you are using a next-gen project.

At present, next-gen projects in Jira do not support Zephyr Test issue type. This feature request is already tracked by Atlassian: https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/JRACLOUD-70685

You can try to contact Zephyr Support directly if they have any update on this feature request.

The only workaround for this is to create Standard Project and move all the items from Next-Gen one to this destination, and then you would be able to add the Zephyr issue type to this project.
