Issue Types

What is this feature?

This feature is a Site Optimization tool that scans your Jira instance and provides a complete list of all configured Issue Types. It analyzes each one to determine if it is unused and can be safely deleted.
Use Case: Use this to declutter your instance by identifying and removing "orphaned" or legacy issue types that are not part of any scheme. This simplifies project setup and makes Jira easier for users to navigate.

1) Delete: Issue types

This page displays a list of all Issue Types in your Jira instance, along with their status, allowing you to select unused ones for deletion.

Management and Filtering:

Download all: Exports a complete list of all issue types shown in the table.
Reset filters: Clears any filters you have applied to the table.
Reset selection: Un-checks any issue types you have selected in the list.
Table tools (right side): Use these icons to toggle the filter row or customize the visible columns.

Issue Types Table:

Select: A checkbox to select one or more issue types for review and deletion.
Can delete: A status icon indicating if the issue type can be safely deleted.
- Green Checkmark: The issue type is "orphaned" (not used in any issue type scheme) and is safe to be deleted.
- (No Icon/Other): The issue type is likely in use and cannot be deleted.
ID: The unique internal ID for the issue type (e.g., 15161).
Name: The name of the issue type as it appears to users (e.g., API Request, Ask a question). You can filter this column by name.

Hierarchy level: The hierarchy level of the issue type (e.g., 0 for standard, -1 for sub-task).

Actions:
