How to enable the Issue Collector in JIRA Cloud?

[David Vasandani]

Trying to enable the Issue Collector on the first project but the documentation doesn't seem to match the interface. The following page reads:

/secure/admin/ViewGlobalCollectors!default.jspa

No collectors have been configured yet. Please navigate to the admin section of one of yourprojectsand configure your first collector via the 'Issue collectors' tab on the left!

When I browse to the admin section of a project there is no "Issue collectors" tab:

From the documentation:

On the left of the Project Summary page, click the Issue Collectors tab. The Issue Collectors page is displayed, listing any issue collectors that have already been set up in your project.

How do I enable "Issue Collectors", etc?

Hi @David Vasandani

Looks like you're on a next-gen project, where the issue collectors feature is not available yet. You'd need to create a classic project to be able to use issue collectors.

Hope this helps,

Is this available yet for next gen projects? It's been 2 years

What is a 'next gen' project?  I'm migrating to Jira Cloud now and don't see this as an option under Project Settings?
