bulk transition issues to set assignee == reporter

Rahul Aich [Nagra]

Hi All

I have a specific requirement on jira (jira5.0.2)

I want to be able to bulk transition multiple issues to set their assignee as their reporter.

It is very tedious to edit each issue manually and set the assignee as its reporter (for testing purposes).

I want to make use of the bulk change feature but do not know how do i bulk change multiple issues to set assignee as the reporter.

I'm afraid you can't do it. Bulk edits set "field = absolute-value", not "field = some data extracted from somewhere else"

Your choices are to break up your bulk edits, or start coding/scripting. (Breaking the edits up means "filter for reporter = A, set all assignees to A, filter for reporter =B, set all assignees to B, etc)

Thanks Nic for your comments, assuming we rule out bulk edit option, what other options we have to achieve my need (assign assign=reporter)

Scripting/coding is the next step.

Do you have the script-runner add-on installed? That would let you do it without having to write more add-ons.

Hi Nic, yes i do have script runner. Any high-level suggestions on how that can be used to achieve my need..

You can also desgin a Global Transition with "Assign to Reporter" post-function in concerned Workflows (with correct conditions for restricting to Administrator).

Also, you will have just to perform a Bulk Transition.
