A number of options define how Structure behaves on issue pages and project pages. When the user opens those pages for the first time, the default settings apply. These settings are adjustable by the Jira administrator.

To change the defaults:

  1. Open the Administration | Structure | Defaults menu.
  2. Scroll down to Structure User Interface Defaults and click Change.
  3. Make the changes and click Change again.
