No issue tracker button in bitbucket?

Question

I'm trying to set up issue tracking on a bitbucket private repository, but there isn't a button to manage/add issues. In this tutorial from atlassian, it clearly shows the issues and wiki buttons, however this must have been before they created pipelines because that button isn't there either. Here's what my sidebar looks like:

The last blog post I found on their blog relating to issue tracking was about a UI update for managing issues. In the blog post announcing the release of pipelines here shows a screenshot that has the same sidebar layout as I have, no issue tracking or wiki button, just pipelines. Did Bitbucket remove issue tracking? Or am I just blind/not looking hard enough? I'm not admin on the repo if that makes a difference, and the team that I'm part of isn't using premium.

Answer 1

@Nicolás was right, all I had to do was navigate to settings(something I couldn't do previously because I wasn't an admin on the repo) and enable issue tracking there.

From a repository,

1. click Settings.
2. Select Issue tracker from the left-hand tabs.
3. Check the option for either a Private issue tracker or a Public issue tracker.

The system saves your selection and the Issue Tracker item appears in the repository's menu bar.

Answer 2

The accepted answer is correct for Bitbucket Cloud. There is no native support for issues in Bitbucket Server.
