How to create components in bulk using Jira Command Line Interface (CLI)

This article explains how to create components in bulk using Jira Command Line Interface (CLI).

Instructions

Create a CSV file with the following columns:
- project for the project name.
- component for the component name.
- description for component description.
- lead for the component lead name.
- defaultAssignee for default assignee for the component issues.
Combine runFromCsv with the --file parameter and addComponent action to create components in bulk. This example works because the CSV file contains the data that is required for the addComponent action with relevant parameters.
```
--action runFromCsv --file Components.csv --common "--action addComponent"
```

It is recommended to test this scenario in a non-production environment or run the action with the --simulate parameter, to verify the behavior before deploying on a production environment.
