use more components per issue

Eugene Laarhoven

Dear all,

For the project I'm creating, I want to use multiple sets of attributes.

'Components' is a nice attribute because I can make filters on it, and can also manage the list of allowable components. But how do I manage my other sets of attributes?

- I can only use 1 component per issue unfortunately

- Can't filter on 'labels' and I can't control the list of labels, so not acceptable for me

thanks in advance

Hi @Eugene Laarhoven ,

I'm not sure why you state that you can only use 1 component per issue. Could you clarify why?

Because you can combine Components. Say for example you want to categorize your issues by color and by taste. In that case you could have a list of components that looks like this:

• Green
• Blue
• Red
• Sweet
• Sour
• Savory

And any single issue could be assigned to two of these to indicate color and taste. You can filter on any of:

• Component = Red
• Component = Sweet
• Component = Red and Component = Sweet

An alternative will be to create a custom field per your needed category.

• Custom field "Taste" with options Sweet, Sour, Savory
• Custom field "Color" with options Green, Blue, Red
