Difference between screen schemes and issue type screen schemes?

[Anand Vardhan]

Hi,

Can anyone elaborate the difference between screen schemes and issue type screen schemes? Would be great if it can be explained with an example.

Theoretically

Screen Scheme - Defines which screens are going to be used for which operation (create, view, edit)

Issue Type Screen Scheme - Defines which Screen Scheme (above) is going to be used for which issue type

Here's an example

You have 2 screens:

1. Screen A (Summary, Description, Due Date)
2. Screen B (Summary, Description)

You create  Screen Scheme 1 "Screen Scheme A" with

1. Create - Screen A
2. Edit - Screen B
3. View - Screen A

You create  Screen Scheme 2 "Screen Scheme B" with

1. Default (Screen B)

You create a new Issue Type Screen Scheme "Issue Type Screen Scheme X" with

1. Default (Screen B)
2. Bug (Screen A)

So, as a recap , now when a project has specified "Issue Type Screen Scheme X", on issue type:

• Bug - You will be able to set Due Date while creating and also view it, but you will not be able to edit
• Any other issue type - You won't have field Due Date at all

Cheers

Thanks a ton!

Dear Gezim Shehu,

What is issue type and issue type schemes? 

[lakshmi]

just a small correction to above answer

Issue Type Screen Scheme

Issue type <-> Screen scheme

hence

You create a new Issue Type Screen Scheme "Issue Type Screen Scheme X" with

1. Default (Screen Scheme B)
2. Bug (Screen Scheme A)

Hi @Anand Vardhan 

Example you have 3 issue type (Bug , Error , Task) , and you need to have differents screen for each one , so in this case you need to have for each issue type a screen scheme .

Note: Screen scheme contain Create , Update and view  ... screens.

So if you have not this requirement , mean you have the sames screens for all issue type , you do not need to get a screen scheme for each issue type .

Hope it's clear for you now

Thanks!

The confusing part in the original documentation is that it says "Screen Scheme ... OR Issue Type Screen Scheme ..."
