Cannot add issues to new project

[Mitchell Kahn]

I have to say, Jira is a ludicrously difficult to configure product.

I am an ADMINISTRATOR, I created a new Scrum project and I cannot create issues for said project. I have tried:

1) deleting the project, recreating

2) adding myself in permissions for the project (even though I am an ADMIN)

3) Pretty much every knob I could find (and there are a lot, hidden in many places). The new UI is just a prettier version, but still bad.

When I click on the (+) icon, the dropdown box does not include my new project (or several others we have). Why not? What buried permission BS do I need to twiddle.

If I sound exasperated, I am. I've pretty much had it with this product.

This should be a simple one - in the permission scheme for that project, you do not have "create issue" privilege for some reason.

(Note, Admin rights means admin, it rightly has nothing to do with individual projects)

[Mitchell Kahn]

Yep, that was it. Permissions are byzantine in this product and have been for ages. Very frustrating.

Thank you!

They're powerful, but yes, complex to negotiate.

Click on JIRA Administration > Projects

Click on your project from the list. Click on Issue Types, from there Click on Actions > Edit Issue Types

Add Issue Types to your project. After that you can add those issue types to your project.

Thanks, but that isn't it.

I don't think the image attached. All the relevant issue types are there.

Hi @Mitch Kahn,

The attached image isn't appearing. Can you upload it again?
