      Problem Definition

      When customer is trying to update/edit an issue, the following message shows up:
      Some issue types are unavailable due to incompatible field configuration and/or workflow associations (source)

      As a workaround to use the unavailable issue types, users would have to use the MOVE feature.

      Suggested Solution

      It would be nice to:

      1. Be able to edit that error message
        OR
      2. Add more details to the user saying that s/he will have to use the MOVE feature
        OR
      3. Remove that message at all

      Workaround

      As a workaround, customers can add a "warning" into the Issue Type field description. To do so you can go to: Issues > Field Configuration > Issue Type > Edit.
