Custom Field- UPloading and Disabling

Maria D Perez

I have a custom field with drop downs. I need to upload a new list and disable the old list of names. How can I go about doing this as a bulk. It is requiring me to go one by one on each.

Hi @Maria D Perez 

Unfortunately there is  no native bulk-disable UI for dropdown options in Jira Cloud — you're right that the standard field configuration screen forces you to do it one by one.

The supported workaround is the REST API. Use the "Update custom field options (context)" endpoint: PUT /rest/api/3/field/{fieldId}/context/{contextId}/option
