Description

Data components are considered secondary objects when exporting a STIX bundle, that is, they only are included in the bundle if they are referenced by a primary object. Groups are added the same way, and the STIX export adds the appropriate value to the group object's x_mitre_domains array. Should data components have the domain added to their x_mitre_domains array in the same way?

Research direction

Start by tracing the STIX bundle export path and comparing how secondary objects such as groups receive x_mitre_domains values. Determine whether data components should receive the same treatment, then verify that exported data components include the appropriate domain when referenced by a primary object.
