New Issue Type Field
In Census 8.0, the field Issue Type is introduced. This field is central to the new Service Level Agreements feature - which can be used to specify required response and resolution times for different contacts, departments, or companies. Issue Type is a core field that helps determine which Service Level Agreement will apply for each issue.

As an alternative, if the two fields do not overlap in functionality in your project, you can use Issue Type in addition to the existing Type field, possibly using Workflow rules to relate them.
