How can I add the issue type we created from any project to other projects with their workflow

[Berat Altunhan]

Hi everyone, I want to associte issue type from any project to other project. I have one Traning Project. And, I created issue types in this project but I have to move issue type to another real project with their workflow,screen and field. How can I do that ? 

Thanks a lot.

Hi @Berat Altunhan and welcome to the Community!

In order to do so, you must have created your issue type centrally in Jira (under Jira Settings > Issues > Issue Types). If you did, you can then use issue type schemes to define sets of issue types that you can link to multiple projects.

The caveat here is that you must use company-managed projects to do so. If that is what you are doing, check out these support articles to learn more about how to set this up:

• Manage issue type schemes 
• associate issue types with projects 
• Configure workflow schemes 
• Configure screens 
• Manage screen schemes 
• Link screens to projects via Issue Type Screen Schemes 

Issue types you create in a team-managed project cannot be shared with other projects. They are only available in the project where you created them.

Hope this helps!

Hi Berat - Welcome to the Atlassian Community!

Workflows are associated with Issue Types. And both are associated with a a projects. So you can create an Issue Type Scheme and attach it to multiple Company-managed projects, which allows you to share the same issue type with multiple projects.

Thanks your answer. However, each project connected the different Issue Type Scheme. Therefore, If  I do like your answer, all project will use the same Issue Type Scheme.I understood your answer correctly, didn't I ?

They don't all have to use the same Issue Type Scheme (although they could) but each Issue Type Scheme will need to include the new Issue Type for it to be able to be used on the project.

I see. Thanks.
