Project Admin OOPS
My client had a project admin who thought he was deleting a project - but he
clicked on the delete project GROUP.
In under 2 minutes, they went from 113 projects to 74.
Is there some reason that there isn't a Confirmation/Warning box???
Should that be a feature request, or a bug report?

I think I'm in favor of the long listing of project names. I'd rather make
the scope of what they are about to do overly obvious.
Let's see if any other users chime in here....otherwise, I'll put in an
enhancement ticket.
Thanks!

Oh, no, I want to make them scroll WAAAAY down so they have no excuse. ;)
Louis, IIRC we changed it so that project developers cannot delete the
group, only an admin could. Does the person who did this have admin
rights?

Also, if there are many projects it might be more manageable to list the
number of projects.
Such as:
Are you sure you want to delete the project group "Multi Module Example" and
the 27 projects it contains?

What version are you using? 1.3.6 does have a confirmation page that
says, for example:
Project Group Removal
Are you sure you want to delete the project group "Multi Module Example"?
Maybe it could be improved by listing all the projects, so it's
clearer exactly what you're deleting.
Are you sure you want to delete the entire project group "My
Group" containing projects A, B, C, D?

Hi Louis,
Sorry that you lost work this way, we all know how frustrating this is. That
distinction probably isn't as important as just getting it into JIRA, but
personally I would call it an improvement. I think there's a category for
that in JIRA. If you can, describe or include screen shots of the screens
the user used to delete the group.
