Managing issue types

Learn about issue types and how to manage them.

谁可以使用此功能?

Organization owners and user account owners can modify issue types.

You can use issue types to classify and manage different types of issues across your organization and user-owned repositories. You can create up to 25 issue types that you can apply to issues, making it easier for you and your members to find issues and plan work.

Default issue types are included in every organization and user account, but these can edited, disabled, or deleted. The default types are task, bug, and feature.

When you add an issue type to an issue, the type will be shown on any lists of issues and in the issues themselves. You can filter and search by issue type and use issue types when creating filters and views in your projects. See 筛选和搜索议题以及拉取请求 and 筛选 项目.
