When creating a new issue type does it change the current ones in the projects?

[David Castro]

I currently need to create a new a new issue type (bugs) and the company currenntly has a lot of them, I just wan to create a new one with different options for a new project without impacting any of the current projects. I just want to know if creating a new one, can it impact the current ones?

@David Castro  No, but  when you add a  new issue type to an  issue type scheme associated to many project then it will affect all projects using this issueType scheme.  I don't know why you have lots  of issue Type bug(s) only  one is  enough.  All  you need to  do  is  create an issue type scheme  or a copy of existing and  associate it to this  particular  project. You need to  be Jira admin to do so.

Best regards,

thanks @Moses Thomas , We have different issue types because each project requires different insights to be done, so each project has it´s own issueType Scheme.

@David Castro  Ok if all projects has it's own Issue Type scheme  then when  you create  a new issueType and add it to a particular scheme it will only affect project(s) using this scheme.
