Update value field in massive way

isandoval

Hi everyone. I hope you're OK.

I need your help.

 

I created a new field in my user Story Screen with a default value, now when I create a new US the field shows this value. Its OK. 

 

But, How I do to update this value in massive way in the field the user Stories that I created previously in my backlog?

 

Thanks for your help.

What is the data type of the new field?

In the Search Issue screen devise a search that will retrieve all the issues you want to update. To find issues where the field has no value use

"<new field> is empty"

 This should work for most fields.

Add other criteria as you need, such as maybe selecting on issues where the Issue Type is Story, or from only certain projects, or only issues that have not yet set to "done".

Then you can use the Bulk Change option to Edit all the issues and add the same value to the field in all the issues.

If you want to set the field to different values for different subsets of issues, then you will have to find a way to specify those subsets in your search criteria.
