HowTo (Cloud version)
Installation
This is done through the Jira Apps section. Search for "Issue Type Filters" and install. If you cannot find it, please contact us.
​​
Thereafter the menu item is found in the Apps menu. The Configure link (Apps admin section) will take you there as well.
​​
Only Jira Admins can see it.
Setup (With example)
1. Click the App (top header menu), and click Issue Type Filters (under Your Apps).
2. click "Create scheme"
3. Choose a name and save.
​​
4. Click "rules", to set up the rules of the scheme.
​
A rule is a definition of an issue type, and who can create it. "Allow all" means everybody can create it (logged in users). Groups/roles can be selected as an alternative to "allow all".
​
An issue type can be hidden totally by deselecting "Allow all" and not choosing groups/roles.
​
Make sure to define the default rule as well.
5. Save the scheme when done.
​
6. Back in schemes, click "Associate" to associate the scheme to projects. You can decide to associate multiple projects.
​
7. Check that it works now, by opening the "Create Issue" dialog, and choose a project you associated the scheme to.
​
8. Now feel free to add other schemes/rules as you see fit.
​​​
Effect
When the filter has been added, observe the effect: Create a JIRA issue. The Issue Type input box would appear like this, if only Task and New Feature was allowed.

Limitations
Developing for Jira Cloud is more limited than DC/Server. So there are limitations:
​​
1. Due to the Jira Cloud UI API (aka Forge), all issue types cannot be hidden in the Create Issue dialog, contrary to the Server/DC edition, where anything is possible.
​
So make sure that:
-
At least one issue type is ALLOWED for all. And,
-
that (or those) issue types are in the associated projects of the scheme.
​​
2. The security part (available in the Server/DC edition) is not supported.
​​
3. "Roles membership" checking can be a bit slow. We are working on making it more efficient.
​​
4. Only team managed and company managed projects for Jira Software are supported.
​​
5. Subtask's filtering (subtask create) is not supported.
