Copying an existing notification scheme and associating it with a project

Summary

You may need to make changes to a project's notification scheme. By default, Jira projects share the same "Default Notification Scheme." This means that if you make changes to a project's notifications, these changes will impact all projects on your site.

This article provides steps on how to copy a notification scheme (so you don't have to create a new one from scratch) and associate it with a project. This allows you to customize a project's notifications without impacting all projects in Jira.

Solution

Copy a notification scheme

1. Select Settings > Work items.

2. Select Notification schemes.

3. Search for the notification scheme that you would like to use and select the copy.

Associate a notification scheme with a project

Now that the scheme is copied, associate it with the project:

1. On the relevant project, go to Project settings.

2. Select Notifications, then:

   1. Internal notifications for service projects

   2. Settings for software/business projects

3. Click Actions > Use a different scheme.

4. Search for the scheme that you just copied.

5. Associate it with the project.

To edit the new scheme, just go to Actions > Edit. You can now edit the notification scheme used in your project without it impacting other projects.
