In the previous recipe, we looked at creating new issue types. In this recipe, we will look at how to manage the issue types so that each project can have its own set of issue types.
Please refer to the previous recipe, Creating new issue types, for details on creating your own custom issue types in JIRA.
Proceed with the following steps to set up a project-specific issue type list:
- Navigate to Administration | Issues | Issue Type Schemes.
- Click on the Add Issue Type Scheme button.
- Enter the name for the new issue type scheme.
- Add issue types to the scheme by dragging them from right to left.
- Select the default issue type.
- Click on the Save button to create the new scheme, as shown in the following screenshot:
Having created our new issue type scheme, we now need to apply it to projects with which we want to restrict issue type selections:
- Click on the Associate link for the new issue type scheme.
- Select the project(s) we want to apply the scheme to.
- Click on Associate to change the selected projects' issue type scheme.
If the project has issues with issue types that do not exist in the new issue type scheme, JIRA will walk you through a migration process where you can update the issue type for all the impacted issues.
