Shared configuration - work item layout behaviour

[Chandra Aggarappa Narayana]

Hi Team,

Our scenario: One base project ( issue types, permissions and others) and create multiple projects ( more than 10)  based on the base project 

this approach is taken for easy maintanence

for this, we are using the shared configuration of Jira.

here, i would like to know what parts are inherited or what not.

for instance, i have recently created a project with base project using shared configuration. but work item layout is different and this seems to be not sync with base project.

Hi,

as stated by the documentation here what it is shared :

Projects that share configuration share:

• work types
• workflows
• screens
• fields
• permissions
• notifications

the issue layout is not shared

Hi @Chandra Aggarappa Narayana 

Welcome to the community. I usually have specific items created to be used across the projects, just like you are doing. Instead of on depending on the project settings. I have specific workflow defined, similarly configured issue type, screens and fields. I think Layout will follow if you control these components. Hope this helps
