Hiding the specific Issue types in Jira

[Chandrasekhar V L]

Hi Team,

Is there any possibility to hide particular issue type in issue type type dropdown when creating new issues.

For Example: The Project A contains Bugs, Epics, Stories and Tasks. I want to setup my jira application, when the user creates a new issue only the Bugs, Tasks and Stories should visible in the Issutype dropdown except Epics. Is that possible?

Thanks,

Chandra.

If you don't want EPICs to be created, just remove that issue type from the project.

Hi @Chandrasekhar V L,

There are many ways to do it such as; javascipt, workflow validators,  Script Runner behaviours, Issue Type Filters plugin etc.

This is a known topic in community. Take a look at this link.

You cannot do it with Scriptrunner, it cant work with issue type field.

But also you can do it with Power Scripts Live Fields

@Mark MarkovBut you can disable opening Epic ticket with an error message. That's a workaround and solves @Chandrasekhar V L's problem.

I mean Scriptrunner Behaviours only :)

Yes, validators can do it. But it will not filter issue type field. It just restrict creation given issue type.
