How can I edit issues of a project in bulk using python and jira rest api 3

Fitehalew Demilew

How can I perform bulk editing of issues in a specific project using Python and JIRA REST API 3? I need to edit issues with a status of 'Reopened' or 'In Progress' and add labels to each issue. With potentially thousands of issues in the project, what is the most efficient approach to achieve this?

Hello @Fitehalew Demilew

There are no REST API endpoints for bulk editing (updating) issues (refer to JRACLOUD-70356), you have to edit them one at a time.

Just loop / iterate through the list of issues, in batches.

Is it efficient to use a loop for performing edits on hundreds of issues per day in the JIRA Service Desk?

Efficient compared to what? Not doing it? Doing via the GUI?

What's the criteria for it being inefficient? Taking 1 minute? Taking 1 hour?

I am wondering if it is efficient to edit hundreds of issues one by one by sending an edit request. Is there any other way to do this or this is only way we have?
