    Description

      Description
      **

      As a project administrator, I need to select a global existing BDD step library for the project using the "Use a different library" option on project settings.

      Currently, only a Jira Administrator can change the BDD step library by selecting the "Use a different library" option.
      When a Project Administrator attempts to use the same option, an "Unexpected error has occurred" message is displayed, preventing them from changing the library.

      Project Administrators should be able to select an existing global BDD step library for the projects they manage without requiring Jira Administrator privileges.

      User friction
      Project Administrators are unable to manage the BDD step library for their own projects and must rely on a Jira Administrator to make the change, causing unnecessary delays and administrative overhead.

      Steps to reproduce (right now) / Actual Result:
      **

      • Log in as a Project Administrator.
      • Open the project settings >> Xray settings.
      • Navigate to the BDD step libraries.
      • Select "Use a different library".
      • Attempt to choose an existing global BDD step library.
         

      IMPACT
      Project Administrators cannot manage the BDD step library for their projects, requiring assistance from Jira Administrators and slowing project administration.

      What would improve if solved:
      **

      • Allow Project Administrators to select an existing global BDD step library.
      • Reduce dependency on Jira Administrators.
      • Simplify project administration.
      • Improve consistency by enabling reuse of shared BDD step libraries.

      Impact on stakeholders:

      • Project Administrators: Can manage the BDD library themselves.
      • Jira Administrators: Less administrative work.
      • Test Engineers: Can use the same BDD library across projects.

      Current workaround:
      A Jira Administrator must use the "Use a different library" option to change the project's BDD step library.

      CONTEXT & EXAMPLES:

      Concrete example:
      A team manages multiple projects that share the same BDD steps. A Project Administrator should be able to associate the project with the existing global BDD step library instead of depending on a Jira Administrator to perform the change.

      Workaround risk:
      Requires a Jira Administrator to change the library.
