Ticket Component

This page is about the "component" attribute associated with Tickets - as distinct from 'components' which extend the trac software.

The Component attribute allows tickets to be grouped according to the different parts of your project.

Components can be configured through the python interface TracAdmin. If you remove all the components the option disappears from the ticket forms.

The mandatory "owner" attribute specifies an individual to whom such tickets will be assigned by default.

Because components are given default owner. In new project env all 
components has default owner of "somebody".

You can though change owner at the time of entering new ticket or later 
with assign to - functionality in tickets.
