When selecting New/Clone Bug ... that blocks this bug the Component field is not auto populated.

I didn’t create the New/Clone Bug menu but it’s probably by design, and it also applies to other actions including blocks, depends on and regressed by. We need more menu items if we support all the cases, and it should probably be nested like this:

• … that blocks this bug
  • in this component
  • in this product
  • in a different product
• … that depends on this bug
  • in this component
  • in this product
  • in a different product
• … that is regressed by this bug
  • in this component
  • in this product
  • in a different product
• … as a clone of this bug
  • in this component
  • in this product
  • in a different product

The current dropdown menu widget doesn’t support nesting so the change requires some development.

Well, in the short term, we can simply add component to these items. Users can change the component on the Enter Bug page if needed.

Thanks for the fixes Kohei! Comment 1 does sound like it would be a good future improvement, but as you said just setting the field for now is a nice first step.
