There is an appended acronym on the front of multiple Epics, Tasks, etc. that we would like to modify in bulk and remove without affecting the remainder of the title with it.

i.e. DLMFG - Epic Name, would like to remove the DLMFG

Hello @Katie Swanson-Wikelius 

Welcome to the Atlassian community.

You could do that with an Automation rule.

https://support.atlassian.com/cloud-automation/docs/jira-cloud-automation/

You could use a Scheduled trigger rule, with a JQL in the trigger to select the issues that have the prefix you want to remove; i.e.

project=X and summary ~ "DLMFG"

Then you can use an Edit action to remove the text, by setting the field using a smart value to remove the text.

{{issue.summary.remorve("DLMFG")}}
