Global Issue Type changes

[Martin Warford]

New to Jira Cloud and running through some simulations before we migrate one of our software products to Jira Cloud (Premium) next week,

I know that in the future we will be migrating more software products to the cloud and I also know that there will be some Issue Types that are used by all these products.

I can see how I add Issue Types and I can see how I can add these to Issue Type Schemes at a Project level.

What I wanted to know is if there is anyway to add these new Issue Types to a default that all new Projects use when they get created so that I don't have to add the new Issue Type to each Project in the future.

For instance I tried adding a new Issue Type to the Default Issue Type Scheme,

so that when I created a new Project, it would automatically pick this up.
It did not.

Hi @Martin Warford

By default when you create a new project, the issue type schema, screen and workflows are always specific to the new project you created. You will always have to update it to the default schema manually.

I would suggest you create a template project with the schemas you want to have as default and then you can use the share configuration to create from the template.

Thanks for getting back so quickly Fabian.

When creating a new Project I did see the 'Share settings with an existing project' tick box.

I am assuming that, based on your response, the Template Project that I might create would be selectable from this drop down.

Is this correct and if it is, thanks that's just what I will do.

That's correct. Keep one thing in mind, when you have projects, any change you make moving forward, it would be reflected to all projects who share the configuration.

Understood and thanks.
