I need to change issue link type of multiple issues e.g. relates to => clones
How can i do this with a bulk change?

It seems that this feature is not supported yet. You can vote for it.

Hi Roman.
I am not aware of a way of bulk changing issue links. Although there is an option that is similar. It is possible to link multiple issues to another issue at the same time. At the "normal" link window there is the possibility to search for issues.
There you get an option to make an advanced search using JQL. After searching with JQL you can select multiple issues to link.
Then press "Add", and now you can link them all to the original issue.
There is a limitation to this solution. You can only link 10 issues at a time, so a big bulk-operation can not be substituted.
A workaround to the limitation is to run a filter from issue navigator, export all issue keys to Excel, paste the issue keys in a note, exchange the newlines with spaces or tabs and then paste it into the issue field on the link-view.
Hope this helps and good luck with your bulk-problem!
Thanks
Great! This was very helpful
For recent Jira (writing this on 2021) Linked Issues a bit different (at least in our case we need to go through no. 1):
See below images for references:
Faced this scenario today in Jira Cloud, and solved it by using Jira automations
the "Link" option doesn't show for me (there's lots of options if you scroll the menu, but no "Link")
also:
Right-click the three-dots menu and choose Link
Right-click opens up a chrome menu, i think you mean left-click
Hi,
What's that mean "normal link window"?
I can't find this one
@Peter McIntyre make sure you're opening the menu on JIRA Issue Navigator rather than the Issue side bar
@mochadwi At the max how many issue can we link. Any idea?
Where is the Jira Issue Navigator? Can you include a snapshot? I am unable to find the "link" option as well.
Please share how you did it. Was it an automatically run macro or manual in each issue?
We also struggled with the bulk link problem. That is why we created the free plugin for that - Issue Link Manager. I hope for your feedback after trying it. Best regards, Jarek
