Update UI and Docs regarding misleading Retain Values on Bulk Move Issues

    Description

      I wasted a couple of hours today trying to figure out why when I did a bulk move from one project to another all my component and version info was lost.

      I first spent a long time making sure I had created matching components and versions in the target project.
      After the move, all those values were lost. I reread the documentation on bulk moves:
      http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira/docs/v3.13.2/bulkoperations.html
      I don't see a note in there that this almost certainly WON'T WORK.

      There is also no indication from the UI itself this this probably WON'T WORK.

      I had a hard time finding info about this in the Jira Forums as well.

      Finally I discovered JRA-8248, a critical open issue that was opened nearly 4 years ago.

      PLEASE update the UI and the documentation to indicate this probably WON'T WORK.
      It is very misleading in the current state.
