Screen schemes group screens together and create associations with issue operations. The next piece of the puzzle is to tell Jira to use our screen schemes when creating, viewing, and editing specific types of issues.
We do not directly associate screen schemes to Jira. The reason for this is that Jira has the flexibility to allow you to define this on a per-issue type level.
