Is it possible to have more than 1 issuetype scheme ?

[adithya]

Hi,

im looking for a solution for my client, before they inject Jira Software Licenses.

the case is :

there is 5 boards in 1 project, each board have a different workflow.

if my client want 1 Board with 1 issuetype and the other board have more than 1 issuetype, is it possible to do that in JIRA ?

i assume we can't do that because related to issuetype scheme on project settings. we only can choose 1 issuetype scheme for 1 project.

Hi @adithya , 

Happy Friday! 

It is not possible to set an issue type scheme per Board. 

But a Board is based on a Filter. So what you can do, is create filters that filter out a specific Issue Type. Such as: 

project = ABC and type = Bug ORDER BY Rank

This way, each Board will only contain specific Issue Types. 

The only thing you cannot control is the Create Button. Users will always be able to select any Issue Type that is available in the Project. So if a user is in the Board that only contains Bugs, this user will still be able to Create Stories and Tasks. But after creation, these will not show up on their board (because they end up on another Board, which contains the Stories and Tasks). 

Does that answer your question? 

Have a nice day! Rik

Hi @Rik de Valk ,

thank you for the explanation.

i agree with you, we can't control the CREATE BUTTON and i think this enough to prove to my client.

Have a nice day ! Varian

Hi Adithya,

You can only have one issue type scheme for a project. Workflows are associated with with issue types. So you can only have one workflow per issue type per project. However, you can have multiple issue types that use the same workflow. 

Boards, then, are associated with workflows - the statuses of workflows show up in the columns of the board. You can have multiple workflows associated with a board and also multiple issue types associated with a board. 

So, the question is what do you want each board to show specifically?

Hi John,

how about the Sub-task? is it possible to hide unecessary sub-task for each board ? so each board have a different subtask.

[John Funk]

Sure - you can do that either with the Board filter directly or just add some additional code to the Sub-filter for the board. 

[adithya]

how to do this "add some additional code to the Sub-filter for the board. " ?

Go to Board Settings then go to the bottom of the screen to the Sub-filter section.
