Manage screen schemes
As a Jira administrator, you can use screen schemes to select the screens your team sees when creating, editing, or viewing an issue. Follow the steps on this page to learn how to create a screen scheme, associate screens with issue operations, and activate your changes using an issue type screen scheme.
Adding a screen scheme
Depending on your requirements, you may want to create multiple screen schemes, and associate them with different projects and issue types.
Select > Issues.
Under SCREENS, select Screen schemes.
Select Add screen scheme.
Add a name, description, and default screen. You'll be able to edit the name and description at any time.
Select Add.
Deleting a screen scheme
Note that screen schemes that are associated with an issue type screen scheme cannot be deleted. You will first need to edit the issue type screen scheme and remove the screen scheme.
Select > Issues.
Under SCREENS, select Screen schemes.
Select Delete next to the relevant screen scheme.
Copying a screen scheme
Select > Issues.
Under SCREENS, select Screen schemes.
Select Copy next to the relevant screen scheme.
Enter the name and description of the new screen scheme and select Copy.
Configuring a screen scheme
Associating a screen with an issue operation
Within a screen scheme, you can associate each issue operation (create, view, edit) with a single screen. The default option will be used for any issue operations without an associated screen.
Select > Issues.
Under SCREENS, select Screen schemes.
Select Configure next to the relevant screen scheme.
Select Associate an issue operation with a screen.
Select the issue operation (e.g. create, edit, view) and the desired screen.
Select Add.
To show fields but not allow them to be edited, remove those fields from the edit screen scheme.
If fields are in the view screen scheme they will still display in the issue view.
Editing an association
Select > Issues.
Under SCREENS, select Screen schemes.
Select Configure next to the relevant screen scheme.
Select Edit next to the relevant issue operation and update the selected screen.Select the desired screen and select Update.
Deleting an association
Select > Issues.
Under SCREENS, select Screen schemes.
Select Configure next to the relevant screen scheme.
Select Delete next to the relevant association. This issue operation will now use the default option.
Activating a screen scheme
To activate a screen scheme:
Configure an issue type screen scheme to use the screen scheme.
Associate the issue type screen scheme with a project.
Check out Associating screen and issue operation mappings with an issue type for more information.
