Grouped by name

All components in the popup are grouped by name. Even though components are created on a per project basis and have unique IDs, if they have the same name, they will displayed in the dialog as one component.

(warning) E.g. updating the name of a component will update the version name in all projects where a component with this name is available.

Creating components

Creating a new component can be done by hitting the Add component button in the upper right corner of the bulk change popup.

Updating components

If you want to update the name or description of a component, you can hit the Edit button next to each displayed component.

Components are grouped by name, not by ID

As mentioned above, the components are grouped by name and not by ID.

Editing a component that is related to several projects results in updating the component in each of that projects.

White spaces in component names

Up to Jira version 8.12.0 it is possible to have leading or trailing white spaces within the component name. If so, you will be notified about that in the UI.

In this case components won't be displayed as one component, if they have the same name but one of them have leading or trailing white spaces in it.

Only specific projects displayed

You can only select those projects that are also selected in the filter at the top of the popup.

However, you can refine your selection inside the bulk change popup, too.
