How to suppress Dead Projects in JIRA linked issues project pull-down menu

Gerald Connolly September 27, 2022

If i setup a linked Issue (actually a Development request) on a Helpdesk ticket, the project pulldown menu field gives me a whole load (21 in fact) of dead projects (Closed/Complete) before any of the current live projects are displayed. How do i suppress these dead projects from the pull down!

NB Jira newb alert!

To remove the option to link to an issue in a project, remove the users ability to edit issues in that project.  It won't be offered to them in the linking dropdown if they can't create a link in there.

I dont want to remove the option to link to a project, just remove the Dead projects from the list of projects available to assign to - There are currently 21 in the list and they come up first

So they are not really "dead"?  Because people can still use them?

Gerald Connolly September 27, 2022

They all start "[Closed]" or "[Complete]"

Why would a display name have any effect on how a thing works?  Have you tried taking away people's access to edit these projects?

Gerald Connolly September 27, 2022

I am not sure you are getting the point.

I just do not want to have to scroll though these dead 21 entries to get to the project i want to assign the ticket to!

So my query is "how do i suppress them in this pulldown list"?

I understand that. 

"How do you suppress them in the list? " Take away people's right to edit issues in the projects you don't want to see.
