Hi, 

To remove an issue type from a project you just remove it from the issue type scheme that associates issue types with a project. Check out the docs on how to do that here:

Hi @Josh Carolan 

Thanks for your reply, i don't want to remove. I just want to hide it or restrict so no one use it. Is there any way.

Hi Senthil, 

Not that I am aware of. However, what is the point of having the issue type in the project if you aren't going to use it? Or were you wanting to disable it only for some users?

[Senthilkumar]

That's the good point.  Sometime people by mistake create tickets on it , we cant blame everyone, so its better we can hide it

Hello,

You would need an app for it.

You could use the Power Scripts app or the ScriptRunner app.

If you want to use the Power Scripts app, then you would need to setup a live field:

https://confluence.cprime.io/display/JJUPIN/Live+Fields

The code for the live field would look like this:

lfAllowSelectOptions("issueType", {"Epic", "Task"});

In this case only the Epic and Task issue types would be available for selection in the create screen.

Thanks @Alexey Matveev  , we have multiple issue types in the create screen , lol. 

[Alexey Matveev]

You could use the 

lfRestrictSelectOptions("issueType", {Story});

It would hide the Story issue type from the issue type field in the create screen.

how much is this cost?
