Migrating old cards to new component

Question

Hello everyone. I have a main project in Jira. We can call it any product or game development project. There are 4 different jira boards under this main project, for example ios android etc. Some projects in the ios board actually belong to another project title. I did not open this project title because it was difficult at that time, and I gathered these jira cards under the title of Ios. All jira cards belonging to my other project have labels and I can see these labeled cards by filtering them. My request is to create a new component under the main project and move the cards that do not belong there to the new component in Ios. As I just mentioned, since non-ios cards have tags, I can separate them by filtering, but I don't know how to automatically move them to the new component. I can look at it one by one and do it manually but it takes too long. Is there an automatic way to do this?

I just discovered that you posted your question in multiple places; here and the Jira/Questions board.

Please post your questions in only one board in the future.

Hello @Oğuz Özkaya

I'm not sure that I fully understand your scenario. Let me try to repeat it back to you.

You have issues in Project A. You have 4 Jira agile boards that display the issues in Project A, including one named "ios" that displays issue based on values in the Labels field of those issues.

Now you want to assign a value to the Component/s field for those issues.

In the "View all issues" screen (under the Filters menu) you can use the filter used by the "ios" board to retrieve those issues. You can then click on the ... button in the upper right corner and select the Bulk Change option. Through that option you can choose Edit, and set the Component/s field for all the issues at once.
