It seems that when Compass components are enabled in Jira, existing work items retain their Jira component (had hoped they might automatically convert to a Compass component of the same name).
Given this, we've explored bulk converting work items' Components field content (painfully, one component at a time), however the available options don't actually seem to support this:
- Add to existing -> should work, except without #4 it results in duplicates
- Replace all with -> should work, but is not suitable for work items with multiple components assigned
- Clear field -> like #2 but worse
- Find and remove these -> doesn't work, the drop-down list only includes Compass components, not Jira components (possible bug?)
Has anyone else come up with a solution for this? The best we've come up with so far is to search for items that only have a particularly component (not that easy) and then use #2 - i.e. not touch items with multiple components.
