Also relevant for how behavior might change in the future, is the proposal 
to archive (hide) Versions and Components:

Re: [Trac] What happens to existing tickets if I delete a ticket field entry as admin?

[Tasos Papastylianou]

Lack of notification for deletion, addition and renaming of components is
fine (in fact, this makes sense to me). But more importantly I now feel
more confident that deleting a component as admin, won't adversely affect
existing tickets!

Thank you for your comprehensive  research and reply!

For the component field, the ticket will continue to have the deleted entry 
and it will be inserted as an option in the select list. For example, I 
deleted "component2". Here is a ticket that has component = component2:




If you rename an option for a field (e.g. change component2 -> 
component2_new), all tickets with the field set to that option (component2) 
will have the field changed to the new option name (i.e. component2_new), 
but there won't be an entry in the ticket change log.

My understanding is that all fields will behave in that manner, except 
Milestone.

For Milestones, deleting the Milestone will change tickets that have that 
milestone set:

And renames are also shown in the ticket change history:

I recall implementing that behavior for the Milestone field, but we haven't 
implemented the behavior for other fields:

https://trac.edgewall.org/ticket/11367

I believe that for all fields the value is inserted as a form option for
existing tickets that have the value, and the ticket field value will be
left unchanged.

I can double-check that for you if you let me know the Trac version you are
using.

[Trac] What happens to existing tickets if I delete a ticket field entry as admin?

[Tasos Papastylianou]

Hello,

I have been given admin rights by our main project admin, and I would like 
to change some ticket fields because the ones already there are the generic 
ones, which don't really apply to our project.
But, we have tickets making use of those generic ones already.
My question is, if I delete the generic entries (e.g. say I remove 
"component 1" and add my own component field) what happens to existing 
tickets making use of those fields?
I wouldn't want to negatively affect existing tickets by removing currently 
used fields from that list.

Thanks,
T.
