'Issue' is changing to 'work item'. You might notice some inconsistencies while this big change takes place.
Configure priorities for projects
A work item’s priority defines its importance in relation to other work items, so it helps your users determine which work items should be tackled first. Jira comes with a set of default priorities: Highest, High, Medium, Low, and Lowest. You can modify these default priorities, create new ones, and add them to different projects by associating these priorities with project priority schemes.
You must be logged in as a user with Administer Jira global permissions. For details on how permissions are set up in Jira, see Permissions overview.
