Hi Jira Experts , how can we Bulk Edit content of multiple test cases written in Jira X-ray ?

[Kiran Khan]

Bulk change content of multiple test cases it  means words of multiple test cases NOT fields . 

Example 

I have 5 test sets each test set have more than 50 test cases so in total around more than 500 test cases . Each test case have a word "ABC" in test case steps and now that "ABC" is going to be change to "XYZ" for some business reason .

Problem

How to change "ABC" to "XYZ" in all of the test cases at once ? I can't go to every test case individually and update the test case steps manually . 

Suggestions and solutions are welcome :)

Hi! 

Just to let you know that in the future you could take advantage of the Parameterized Tests feature to make it easier to manage these needs.

Hi @Kiran Khan ,
As there cannot be string replacement in internal bulk-change i see 2 possible solutions here:

1. JXL-Plugin - table structure issue editor that allows bulk changes similar to excel

2. filtering the issues you want to bulk edit - export them to csv - do bulk changes in the csv file - importing the changed file

I didn´t prove either of then but I would rather stick to the first one of these 2 as there is everything done internally and data integrity seems better from my point of view.

Best
