Unused

What does unused mean in Configuration Cleaner for Jira?

An element is considered unused if it is not used in any project. Corresponding elements are not listed further in a list of possible duplicates.

If a configuration element is only used in another configuration element that is unused, then both elements will be considered as an unused configuration element. These type of unused element are separated into their own section with the label Only in Unused ${Parent_Configuration_Item_Type}.
