Having a separate issue types for different issue types

[Maroun Maroun]

I want to have a different issue type for "story" and "task". However, I can't edit separately, they both appear in the same layout:

Do you mean different screen for Story and Task?

If yes please follow the below steps.

1. Create New/Copy screen to change the order of fields or add new custom fields to your display.

Administration->Issue Fields->Screens

2. The Screen Scheme

Administration->Issue Fields->Screen Schemes->Add Screen Scheme> Configure >Add Issue Operation To Screen Association 

3. The Issue Type Screen Scheme

Under the Add Issue Type Screen Scheme section, Select the Issue Type Screen Scheme that uses your Screen Scheme.You can click Configure next to your added Issue Type Screen Scheme in case you'd like to associate different Screen Schemes with different Issue Type.

Thanks for your answer. I want to be able to have different issue types for "task" and "story". For example, I'd want to have a dropdown of "environment" for task, but I don't want to have it for "story" type.
