How not to let bulk change overwrite existing values fields (Component, affected version)

Rahul Aich [Nagra]

Hi All

Components and affect versions are multi select fields i.e. can hold more than one values in it.

Now if we are using bulk change feature to add a set of issues with a certain component we find that the old values in them gets overwritten.

e.. say Issue A has component X already in it. and i am bulk changing a set of issues which includes Issue A to add component Y to it. After bulk change i find that Issue A only has component Y andcomponent X is overwritten.

How can we prevent this?

I'm afraid you can't at the moment.

I am sure there is an issue raised about this in Atlassian's Jira, but it's not in my bookmark list. Possibly because I'm pretty sure it was raised in Jira 2.x, if not earlier...

Thanks Nic. I guessed so. Is there any workaround to this that you may think of?

Script bulk changes externally is about the only thing I've done - a SOAP call to get the current values, work out what needs updating and perform an edit. (I'd use REST or the script-runner nowadays)

Hi Nic,

I notice Affects version field is not seen during bulk change. I'd need to do bulk update with different value for 'Affects version' filed.....is this not possible with JIRA->Bulk change option? Am using JIRA 7.3.4.

thanks for your reply.
