What are the options to categorize tasks by the software-modul they are developed on ?

Question

We have 2 teams: A & B .
We have 2 projects: Orders, Logistics
We have multiple software moduls/components :
Modul-1 :Orders-API, Modul-2: Shop Modul-3: Logistic-API

When I create a task;
I want to define the software modul it will be developed on,
- so that we can create a filter to see all tasks on that software modul.
- all developers can easily see where it should be developed.

What are the options to categorize tasks by the software-modul they are developed on ?
How did you solve this issue on your organization ?

I prefer not to use labels because, I want to predefine those software-moduls and only offer those names to be selected.

I though to use components but components are not cross-project. Only way to use it looks like creating component on every project with the same component name.

Hi -

You'll want to use a single-select custom field, maybe called Module with the options:

* Orders-API
* Shop
* Logistic-API

Here's information on creating custom fields, and different field types:

If you have other projects and teams that might use different modules, then you should modify the context for these options so that it only applies to the Orders and Logistics projects.
