Is there any way to delete bulk issue links at all once?

Hi, I wanted to delete almost 8000 issue links from my ticket. Is there any option to delete the links other than doing it manually?

Hi @Kruthika R

In your comment, you mentioned:-

Hi, I wanted to delete almost 8000 issue links from my ticket. 

Are all the 8000 issue links from one specific issue?

If yes, you could try something like this in the ScriptRunner console:-

import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor

def loggedInUser = ComponentAccessor.jiraAuthenticationContext.loggedInUser
def issueManager = ComponentAccessor.issueManager
def issueLinkManager = ComponentAccessor.issueLinkManager
def projectManager = ComponentAccessor.projectManager

//Specify your Project Key
def project = projectManager.getProjectByCurrentKey('MOCK')

def issues = issueManager.getIssueObjects(issueManager.getIssueIdsForProject(project.id))

issues.each {
    if (it.key == 'MOCK-1') {
        issueLinkManager.removeIssueLinks(it, loggedInUser)
    }
}

Else if it is from multiple issues, you will need to do this:-

import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor

def loggedInUser = ComponentAccessor.jiraAuthenticationContext.loggedInUser
def issueManager = ComponentAccessor.issueManager
def issueLinkManager = ComponentAccessor.issueLinkManager
def projectManager = ComponentAccessor.projectManager

//Specify your Project Key
def project = projectManager.getProjectByCurrentKey('MOCK')

def issues = issueManager.getIssueObjects(issueManager.getIssueIdsForProject(project.id))

issues.each {
    issueLinkManager.removeIssueLinks(it, loggedInUser)
}

Please note that the sample working code above is not 100% exact to your environment. Hence, you will need to make the required modifications.

You will need to modify the project's key accordingly before triggering the code in the ScriptRunner console.

I have done a basic test of removing 1000 links at once in my environment.

I hope this helps to answer your question.

Thank you and Kind regards,

Ram
