    • We collect Jira feedback from various sources, and we evaluate what we've collected when planning our product roadmap. To understand how this piece of feedback will be reviewed, see our Implementation of New Features Policy.

      NOTE: This suggestion is for JIRA Server. Using JIRA Cloud? See the corresponding suggestion.

      We are using JIRA to track production changes and need to keep an accurate audit trail of what has happened in the past. However, when a custom field option needs to be removed (no longer relevant for future issues), we can't have that field option being removed from past issues.

      Currently, if an option from a custom field is removed, JIRA removes that option for all existing issues that have it (closed as well). Same story with components - If I remove a component that isn't needed for future issues, it should not remove that component from previous issues.

      This is a lack of data integrity for JIRA. We should be able to modify field options for future issues without "breaking" the past issues.
