Creating and Editing Issues

Creating an Issue

Open the Create Issue dialog in one of these ways:

• Click Create Issue in the Jira Issues tool window toolbar.
• Right-click an issue in the list and select Create Issue.

Start by choosing the Project and Issue type: together they determine the rest of the form, which the plugin builds from the fields your Jira configuration defines for that combination, including custom and required ones. Typing @ in the description mentions a user.

Editing an Issue

To edit an existing issue, open it and click Edit Issue on the details panel toolbar. The dialog lets you change the issue's title and description.

Other fields — including status, assignee, priority, and labels — are edited directly in the issue's Fields tab, where each field offers the values allowed by your Jira configuration. Changing the status offers the workflow transitions available from the issue's current status. See Issue Details.
