I checked this here: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira/docs/v3.2/customfields/overview.html#Custom+field+context However, I was sure that we have the most recent version of JIRA, here on Apache. According to the footer I was wrong, we are still using 3.1.x... Without custom field contexts you are probably right, all projects will be affected. On the other hand, we already have custom fields (if patch is attached or bugzilla id) that do not appear in other projects. Do someone knows how it works? Basically, I wanted to have a vote result to start talking with infra about something we want to have and not something we are wondering about. I believe that infra should help us with our needs. > Second I wonder if this really works (or if I misunderstood something). > Nils only seems to talk about an additional field to differ between > "global" version (like Cocoon 2.2) and component version (like CForms > 1.0).

JIRA has cascading field[1] that would help us in this case but one would have to choose components two times (one time in components field and one in our custom field). That's not perfect, but I already realized we are not going to find a perfect solution. > My vote is +1 though. Thanks.
