# What is an issue scheme?

Issue schemes are sets of issues that can be used when creating a project. When you choose an issue scheme for a project template, it automatically adds those same issues to any project created from that template. 

# Creating a new issue scheme

**To create a new issue scheme: **

1. Go to the top right corner and select **Settings**> Macro (inline-media-image)

 > **Apps**.
2. In the left sidebar, navigate to *DELEGATED PROJECT CREATOR* and click on **Issue schemes**.
3. Enter a meaningful scheme name and description, then click the *plus* sign (> Macro (inline-media-image)

) to add it to the version scheme list.

You can rearrange the order of issue schemes by using *drag and drop* (> Macro (inline-media-image)

- creating new issues.

3. Choose whether to retain epic links for issues from the parent project.
4. Click the **Import project** button.
