Issue bulk operations (REST API) does not work for imported issues?

[Ivan Hanák]

Hello,

is it possible that bulk APIs for editing issues do not work on issues imported (from csv) into Jira?

In particular this API (v3) https://developer.atlassian.com/cloud/jira/platform/rest/v3/api-group-issue-bulk-operations/#api-rest-api-3-bulk-issues-fields-post 

with request body

"editedFieldsInput" => [
    "labelsFields" => [
        [
            "bulkEditMultiSelectFieldOption" => "REMOVE",
            'fieldId' => "labels",
            "labels" => array_map(fn($label) => ['name' => $label], $labels),
        ],
    ],
],
"selectedActions" => ["labels"],
"selectedIssueIdsOrKeys" => $issueIds,
'sendBulkNotification' => false,

with $issueIds being ids of issues which were imported (and not created by a person), the api returns the following http response:

code: 403
error: {message: "You do not have the necessary permissions to disable bulk mail notifications for this operation."}

However, when the request body parameter sendBulkNotification is changed to "true", the request works correctly.

Can this be a bug?

No, this isn’t a bug — the 403 error happens because you don’t have permission to disable bulk notifications. It’s not related to the issues being imported from CSV. Are you a site-admin o a jira-admin at least?

You should run the request with a user that has the global permission to disable bulk notifications (admin)
