This resource represents issues types

Just as a project can have many different types of work, Jira uses different issue types to help identify, categorize, and report on your teamโ€™s work. Weโ€™ll cover Jiraโ€™s standard-issue types below.

Get all issue types for user

GET /rest/api/{2-3}/issuetype

Returns all issue types.

Create issue type

POST /rest/api/{2-3}/issuetype

Creates an issue type and adds it to the default issue type scheme.

Get issue type

GET /rest/api/{2-3}/issuetype/{id}

Returns an issue type.

Update issue type

PUT /rest/api/{2-3}/issuetype/{id}

Updates the issue type.

Delete issue type

DELETE /rest/api/{2-3}/issuetype/{id}

Deletes the issue type. If the issue type is in use, all uses are updated with the alternative issue type (alternativeIssueTypeId).

Get alternative issue types

GET /rest/api/{2-3}/issuetype/{id}/alternatives

Returns a list of issue types that can be used to replace the issue type.

The alternative issue types are those assigned to the same workflow scheme, field configuration scheme, and screen scheme.
