How do I change the default value for "Hide completed issues older than" on Kanban boards?

[Lars Bodahl]

Our last Jira upgrade (7.10.2) introduced the field "Hide completed issues older than" on Kanban boards. We have a lot of boards (100+) where this has to be changed, so I was wondering if anyone could help me with these two questions:

1) Is it possible to change the default value? (2 weeks) If so: How? :)

2) Is there any way I can change this on all the boards? It will take forever to go through each board and change the configuration...

Hi Lars,

Here is the answer from the Atlassian : 

2) Is there any way I can change this on all the boards, bulk ? It will take forever to go through each board and change the configuration...

Apart from the database, you may disable this feature completely. This can be done by:

1. Login as an administrator and go to [BASE-URL]/secure/SiteDarkFeatures!default.jspa
2. In the Enable Dark Feature text field add com.atlassian.jira.agile.darkfeature.kanban.hide.old.done.issues.disabled

Edit the board config and under general there is

"Hide completed issues older than" with a pull down, 1,2,4 weeks or none.

As for editing all the boards at once - sorry I cant find that option.

I know how to do it one board :) It's changing the default value and doing a bulk change I need to find out.
