      Issue summary

      The user is unable to delete an issue type if there is no issue type scheme associated with the issue type.

      • Go to issue type page
      • Click delete on an issue type that has no issue type scheme associated with it
      • Confirmation dialogue is displayed with no delete button; only cancel

            Hello, veronique.blick! I'm afraid that Jira 6.4 reached End of life (please see our End of life policy) and it is no longer supported. What we can suggest is to upgrade to a supported version (currently 7.3) and verify if the issue persists. In case you require assistance with the upgrade procedure, experience issues with the upgrade itself, or the issue reported in this bug request is still present after the upgrade, please reach out to our Support team at https://support.atlassian.com/contact/

            Best regards,
            René Chiquete - Atlassian Support.

            We are also having this issue and the workaround is not working for us on Jira 6.4.7. 

            Is it possible to get some support? the issue is causing Jira to crash.

            Same error on JIRA 7.2.4. Is this bug going to be resolved in the near future?

            Is it all workaround?

            Create a new project - done
            Delete the issue type you no longer want - still see the same error!

            The bug still alive in the second half of 2016, but the workaround works flawless
