## Add risks (create new issues)

**Method 1 (top menu):**

Create a new Jira issue.

Fill in the 'probability' and 'consequence' fields to ensure the issue is added to the risk matrix.

Note: Make sure that the Jira project selected is in the scope of the box:

<details>
<summary>See the screenshots</summary>

</details>

**Method 2 (risk matrix): **

Create an issue directly in the matrix:

Use the creation dialog to enter the required information. The App populates the Risk Probability and Consequence values.

### Limitations

> ℹ️ Note that although the Risks module is now available also on Boxes with no Scope, it does not allow you to create new risks (the "Add" button is greyed out).

For example, Box type "Iteration" has its Scope type set to "None". Although the Risks module is listed among other modules, new risk creation and editing is not available.

## Adding Existing Issues as Risks

You can add an existing issue, i.e., an issue that already fits within the scope of the Box, by opening the edit dialog and selecting the Risk probability and Risk consequence field values for this issue. 

**Method 1 (top menu):**

Click "**+**" > **Add existing task**

![image-20240122-100302.png](media://9cf2f1c3-c7c7-4ddc-8c80-d6be58d2f323)

Fill in the fields:

- select a task
- select risk probability
- select risk consequence

#### Limitations:

Empty box scope.

Before you add existing tasks to a Box, make sure that the scope definition is defined. Otherwise, you will be asked to do it first. 

To define the scope definition:

1. Click:
  1. **Define the scope first**; or
  2. **Add risk** > **Manage scope definition**
2. Make adjustments.
3. Click **Save **to confirm.
4. Now, you can add existing tasks to a Box.

## [Bulk adding risks](https://appfire.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/DLP/pages/2212334211)

[Jira bulk change](https://support.atlassian.com/jira-work-management/docs/edit-multiple-issues-at-the-same-time/) functionality allows you to edit multiple issues at once, allowing you to set a change risk probability and a change risk consequence for multiple issues during a single bulk operation.
