You have seen how we can create and manage screens and how to configure what fields to add to the screens. The next piece of the puzzle is letting Jira know how to choose the screen that has to be displayed for each issue operation.

Screens are displayed during issue operations, and a screen scheme defines the mapping between screens and the operations. With a screen scheme, you can control which issue operations the screen displays, as follows:

• Create Issue: This screen is shown when you create a new issue
• Edit Issue: This screen is shown when you edit an existing issue
• View Issue: This screen is shown when you view an issue

Just like screens, whenever you create a new project in Jira, a new screen scheme is created specifically for your project, and screens are automatically assigned to these issue operations.

The defaults created are usually good...
