Linking several issues at the same time

[romain bonnet]

Hi all,

We recently switch to JIRA with an already big database of Bugs and Feature Requests. Going through the database to sort it, it appears that several issues are linked (relates, duplicate...). Adding a relationship between 10 issues is complex, it requires to open 9 of them. Is there any way to define fastly a link between several issues (bulk change?)?

Example: 5 bugs are duplicates, how can i add these links through a single action?

(I tried to find an answer on the community but did not succeed, hope my search query was good enough ^^)

Hello @romain bonnet and welcome to Community!

I have not tried it but this app may help you: Bulk Linker. @miikhy, do you confirm? :)

Hey There,

Indeed the App I developped is meant to allow a bulk operation of linking (unlinking and updating link type), that should dedinitely help!

Feel free to give it a try and if you have any suggestion/improvement in mind, you can reach out to me directly, I’ll be happy to help!

Cheers!

You can link multiple issues to a single ticket using link action.

This is not what i want, my explanation is maybe not clear. I have issue A, B, C, D and E. They are all duplicates. Hence

• A should have duplictate link with B, C, D, E,
• B with A, C, D, E,
• C with A, B, D, E,
• D with A, B, C, E,
• E with A, B, C, D,

adding these links implies too:

• add for A a link with B, C, D, E,
• add for B a link with C, D, E,
• add for C a link with D, E,
• add for D a link with E,

I'd like to make 1 action instead of 4 and then possibly avoid mistakes.

Hope it's clearer
