Can I change the default "create" buttons at the top of a project page?

Bob Dover March 26, 2012

At the top of my project pages I have a "create" bar. It allows me, with a single click, to create a new feature or epic (we're using agile issue types). Can these buttons be mdoified to include other issue types, or be replaced with others if I'd like? And, if I can, how?

The dropdown for Issue Type will show all available issue types for that particular project. Here's how to associate additional issue types with your project:

Note, you're not modifying the button so much as the options available in the dropdowns. I hope this helps.

Thanks for the quick response, Justin. I did see where my issue types were available in the "Other" drop-down, but I was hoping to change the two buttons that gave one-click access to creating issues (see my updated question above for a screen shot). If these can't be changed, we'll just use the "Other" drop-down, but it would be nice to just click and go!

got it, thanks for the screenshot. it looks like the 2 that show are based on the order you've put your issue types in. this can be adjusted in the administration screens under "issue types" --> issue type schemes (it's a tab across the top) then find your scheme and hit "edit". you can then drag and drop to change the oder. in terms of adding more than 2 types to this screen...I bet it's possible, but that starts to get into custom scripting that goes way beyond my scope of knowledge.

Fantastic, that did the trick! Thanks again for such a quick response.
