Cassandra: I believe you have more JIRA administrative experience than I. I notice Solr has one "screen" used for create, edit, and view. "SOLR-JIRA-PROJECT" is the name of the screen. It appears I need to request that a JIRA administrator create a new screen for us that is associated only with the "create issue" operation of the "screen scheme". Do you agree? Likewise for the Lucene project. I'll go file an Infra ticket.
