How to programatically select a component

[Piotr Przybylski]

I have some JavaScript automation which helps me integrate customer's issue tracking into my company's workflow (don't ask...). How do I programatically, through JavaScript code, select a component on Edit Issue page?

I'm not sure what the exact JavaScript would be, but you can include it as part of a description of one of the fields;

JIRA has a version of jQuery you can reference as well so you don't have to include your own;
