Hi,

 

I have an issue type named as “Initiative”.

We have automations, Boards, filters built around it.

Now we are planning to rename this issue type as “Feature”.

What will be the impact of this change? Will there be any impact on JQL queries, filters, boards, automations, Advanced Roadmap plans and Structures?

Hi @Lukasz Grobelny 

Thanks for sharing this. However, the answer you referred above is applicable for server. 

I am looking an answer for cloud version of Jira.

Overall impact should be the same, just you would not be able to access the DB
