How to set default component for new issues?

[Carina Cheng]

I want all new issues I create to have a default component. However, each person in my team might have a different default component, or no component at all.

Hi Carina,

Just to make sure I understood your use case, do you want all issues that you are the reporter to have a default component? I'm asking that because sometimes users create issues on behalf of other users or customers.
If you want all tickets to have a default component when you are the reporter, you can use an automation using the add-on Automation for Jira (you can use the free version to test).

If that's not the case, please give us more details and we can check if there is a workaround.

Regards,
Angélica

Yep, that's exactly what I'm looking for :) I do create issues for other users, but the majority is related to a specific component, so having a default would help me a lot already.

I'll try the add-on, thank you Angelica!
