      The "Associate priority scheme" screen has a multi-select box for selecting which projects to associate with the Priority scheme. The issue that we have run into a few times is losing the current selections by inadvertently not holding the control key when selecting a project. These list may be long and it is difficult to recover. Sisnce it only shows the 

      It would be much safer to have an interface where you can add and remove projects instead, similar to the way users are added to groups.

      Workaround

      As a workaround the Jira administrator may want to customize the Associate priority scheme screen to show projects as a checkbox list.
      It's important to note this is not a recommendation from Atlassian and would not be covered through the Atlassian Support offerings.

      The administrator may choose to add the following JS script to the announcement banner or to use it as part of a ScriptRunner web resource fragment.

      <script type="module">

// Function to convert a select element into a checkbox list
function transformSelectToCheckboxList(selectSelector) {
    // Find the select element
    const selectElement = document.querySelector(selectSelector);
    if (!selectElement) return;

    // Create a container div for the checkbox list
    const checkboxContainer = document.createElement('div');
    checkboxContainer.className = 'checkbox-list';

    // Iterate over the options in the select element
    Array.from(selectElement.options).forEach(option => {
        // Create a label for each checkbox
        const label = document.createElement('label');
        label.style.display = 'block';

        // Create the checkbox input
        const checkbox = document.createElement('input');
        checkbox.type = 'checkbox';
        checkbox.name = selectElement.name;
        checkbox.value = option.value;
        checkbox.checked = option.selected;

        // Append checkbox and text to the label
        label.appendChild(checkbox);
        label.appendChild(document.createTextNode(option.textContent.trim()));

        // Append the label to the container
        checkboxContainer.appendChild(label);
    });

    // Insert the checkbox container after the select element
    selectElement.parentNode.insertBefore(checkboxContainer, selectElement.nextSibling);

    // Hide the original select element
    selectElement.style.display = 'none';
}


document.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', function() {
    if (window.location.pathname.includes("/secure/admin/AssociatePriorityScheme!") || window.location.pathname.includes("/secure/project/AssociatePriorityScheme!default.jspa")) {
        transformSelectToCheckboxList('select[name="projects"]');
    }
});
</script>



      Here's an example when this workaround is applied.
