At the moment, configuration elements (e.g. status, type) are only created if they are used by an issue. However, customers might expect that all elements defined in a Jira project appear in OpenProject, even if they are not used.

E.g. one customer had the idea to create an empty project in Jira which represents a default Project setup and import this into OpenProject in order to create all configuration elements. The reason why they do not want to do it directly in OpenProject is that they know how to do it in Jira. Begin of the insertion

Another idea could be to provide a separate configuration seeder that sets up OpenProject configuration elements based on a given Jira project.End of the insertion
