How to delink multiple issues at once?

[Sandesh TM]

We need to delink multiple issues at once , how can we achieve this functionality whether it can be done through any configuration or is there any API call is there to use?

Hi @Sandesh TM

if you're open to solutions from the Atlassian Marketplace, you may want to have a look at the app that my team and I are working on, JXL for Jira.

JXL is a full-fledged spreadsheet/table view for your issues that allows viewing, inline-editing, sorting, and filtering by all your issue fields - including your issues' issue links - much like you’d do in e.g. Excel or Google Sheets. It also allows bulk editing and bulk cleaning your fields, like so:

You can update any number of issues in one go - so you should be done with your work in no time.

I should add that JXL can do much more than the above: From support for configurable issue hierarchies, to issue grouping by any issue field(s), sum-ups, or conditional formatting.

Any questions just let me know,

Best,

Hannes

Hi @Sandesh TM 

*Sorry, just read that your question is for Data-Center... will leave this here for any Cloud interest*

An Automation rule could be run - something like this example to manually run using JQL to find issues with links.

I'd suggest using the JQL on a single issue first to test that it does what it should
