Idea creates a new changelist whenever I switch a task
Answered
Hi,
In 2025.1 EAP, Idea started creating changelists whenever I switch to another Jira task, it looks like this:
These changelists are completely useless to me, and I can't find a way to disable them. I just want a default “changes” changelist. What's even weirder is that if I try to manually delete this new changelist, Idea automatically switches to a default task.
Any idea how to disable this behavior?

Hi,
When creating a task disable “Create changelist” option.
For current tasks, you can edit them and disable associated changelist.
If you want to disable it completely, in Settings | Version Control | Changelists, you can disable “Create changelists automatically” but this will disable re-creation of changelists when unshelving.
