I am combining multiple Jira projects into one single project. Any gotchas I need to be aware of?

Question

We are moving multiple projects into a single project.  We want to use the component field to segment out the team backlogs and boards.  We are attempting to standardize workflows, have a single product backlog, and simplify reporting.  Any concerns I need to be aware of?

Hi @Derwin Roland - Make sure that either all the statuses from the source projects are present in the target project for respective issue types or properly mapped from source to target. Also field configuration and permission schemes can be adjusted as per the source projects.

Check custom fields for project related context.  I use that all the time.
