Can't associate a field configuration scheme with a Jira project?

[ellie.wang]

With the new project created and admin permissions granted, I still can’t associate a field configuration scheme with it. The 'Actions' dropdown menu that was available in previous projects is missing. Is this a bug, or has the feature been removed?

Hi @ellie.wang and welcome to the Community!

Most likely you ended up creating a team-managed project. These don't use field configurations, as company managed projects do.

To make sure what type of project you have created, click on the ... button next to your project's name and verify what type it is:

(this is an example of a Team-managed Business project)

So, in short, if you want to use a field configuration, you definitely still can. But you'll need to be in a company-managed project for that.

Hope this helps!

Thanks, @Walter Buggenhout  that’s exactly what I ran into!

Switching from team-managed to company-managed solved the issue. Might be helpful if Atlassian added a small notice or warning when creating a team-managed project that field configurations (and other schemes) aren’t supported  could save a lot of confusion for new admins.

Appreciate the clear explanation!

If anyone’s stuck with similar setup issues  feel free to DM me, happy to help.
