When I type the name of a component in a JIRA ticket, I occasionally end up with a component automatically created with a mistyped name. I would like to disable automatic creation of Components. Is that possible to do? We use our Components for administrative reporting, so it's annoying to have incorrect entries in the list of Components.
Well, you need to be project administrator in order to create new components. So if you remove the Administer Projects permission you would not run into this issue.

I would vote against this terrible 'enhancement' too. It's ridiculous that if you're an administrator, a typo insta-creates a component or version or whatever. Backing them out involves getting into the project administration, which is a UX asymmetry: it should be as easy to delete these phantoms as it is to create them.

Did you raise an issue? If so please post it here as I will vote for it, and need to do this myself. I would like to lock it even for administrators, and only allow adding of components by first unlocking the component add feature and then adding it.
