Manage configuration elements
With Power Admin for Jira, you can make safe changes to configuration elements in your Jira. You can perform different actions like Configure, Edit, Delete, Copy, Rename, and Export on Jira configuration elements and their dependencies. Depending on the usage and the configuration element type, the set of available actions varies.
Rename, Delete and Export actions are entirely managed and performed by Power Admin.
To learn more about the specifics of using the Rename and Delete actions, check the documents:
For the Configure, Edit, and Copy actions, Power Admin will redirect you to the relevant Jira native pages.
