How to update existing issuelink using REST API?

[Ravi]

Need help to understand How I can update/delete issueLink via update issue rest api.

I do understand we can add issuelink using below format
```
.
.
.

"update": {

    "issuelinks": {

        "add": {......}

    }

}
```


However same can not be true for remove or edit.
I tried and got error: `'Linked Issues' does not support operation 'remove' Supported operation(s) are: 'add'`


Thanks

Hi @Bill Sheboy 

Thanks for your response.
Apology, if I missed to mentioned we are using Jira server (and not cloud API).

I agreed we have `Delete Issue Link` api available (i.e https://docs.atlassian.com/software/jira/docs/api/REST/8.2.0/#api/2/issueLink-deleteIssueLink), however, it not support batch operations.

Do we have any other ways which support batch deleting ??

Also, is there any possibility using update api only we can remove issueLink or edit issuelink (like https://developer.atlassian.com/cloud/jira/platform/rest/v2/api-group-issues/#api-rest-api-2-issue-issueidorkey-put as mentioned about `update` section for edit/remove options)

Thanks

Not that I am aware of...You may want to also post this question in the developer community: https://community.developer.atlassian.com/

And as a suggestion: please try to keep your posts in the same conversation thread (that is, below the current one).  That will help people who look at this question see if there are multiple different suggestions / solutions.  Thanks!

I will post in developer community.

Reg replying in thread, I will keep this in mind :)

Hi @Ravi -- Welcome to the Atlassian Community!

It appears there is a separate function for that:

Kind regards,
