How to add a component to all tasks at once?

[Yovav Gad]

How can I add a component to all tasks in a story?

or can I set a default component to be used for new tasks?

Hello @Yovav Gad and welcome to the Community!

To add a component to all tasks in a story, I would recommend doing an Advanced Issue Search (System Navigation Bar > Advanced Issue Search > JQL or Basic View). After you've searched for all the tasks you want to add a component to, do a bulk edit (top right corner menu) and add the component to all of those tasks.

If you want to set up a default component, I would create an automation rule (Project Settings > Automation) that does this. You'll want to use the following:

Trigger: Issue Created

Condition: Issue Type = Task

Action: Edit Issue -> Set component field to a specific value.

Let me know if this works and if you have additional questions!
