Changing the issue type layout doesn't change the old issues (?)

[Arun Unnikrishnan]

I have an issue type A for which there are 2 screens

• A Edit 
• A View
• A Create

I made some layout changes to all the three screens . But the old issues doesn't reflect the change in layout - that's View screen still shows the old layout (the one prior to change). 

The layout change can be viewed for the new issue created.

Doesn't the layout change automatically take effect on the old issue?

I found the solution to this. 

Same screen were used by around 70 odd projects. I had to make screen layout changes in the project setting and then Copy Layout to the remaining 69 projects.

Hello @Arun Unnikrishnan,

It should change automatically. What changes have you done?

@Marko Blagus It's just reordering the custom fields.
