How to reverse all dependencies?

david.jares

Hello Everybody,

I just got this project to manage. The project is done from 5/7 and the original team was using Assembla before. We moved everything to JIRA and I start working on dependencies.

Unfortunately, after a few hours, I realize, that I somehow swapped BLOCKED BY a BLOCKS in my head and I did everything exactly the opposite way (now my parent tasks are blocking all child tasks). As I mentioned, I realized this way too late after approx 200 tasks being linked. Is there any way (without any external paid addon) how to reverse it? The only solution I found was to go again task by task through everything, delete everything and set it up again correctly.

Thank you for any help and have a great Holidays.

It is not possible to change the link type by bulk update.

Maybe you could do the following:

1. Export the affected issues.

2. Delete the affected issues.

3. Modify the downloaded csv.

4. Import the issues from the modified csv.
