In this recipe, we will look at how to create custom priorities.
Proceed with the following steps to create new priorities in JIRA:
Navigate to Administration | Issues | Priorities.
Enter the new priority's name.
Set an icon for the issue type. You can either click on the select image link, select an existing icon, or type in a full URL to a custom icon.
Select a color for the priority. The color will be used when you export issues to Excel.
Click on the Add button to create the new priority.
