Is it possible to perform a bulk archive of issues in Jira?

We are unable to find the "archive" option in the bulk change feature to archive completed issues within a project.

Hello @Margarita

Jira doesn't have this functionality. Also, there are no third party apps that support this. There is only an option to bulk delete the issues. The only thing that can be archived are the projects.

Hi Margarita,

Jira Cloud does not have the ability to archive individual issues. You do have the ability to archive projects though. So you could create a project specifically for archived issues if you want and then do a bulk move of issues to that project.

Hi Margarita,

You can actually use Jira CLI to accomplish this! Jira CLI is a helpful command-line automation app that enables you to bulk complete tasks that are otherwise time-consuming through the UI.

There's an archiveIssues command actually, and you can fill it in with the parameters you need, for example:

<code>--action archiveIssues --jql "project = "PROJECT_KEY" AND status = "Done""

You can try it the app free for 30 days. Let me know if it works for you, and feel free to contact our support team if you run into any problems.

Hello @Margarita ,

you can definitely bulk archive issues with the REST API:

There is an article from Atlassian how to achieve it for 100 issues with an automation
Or you could just use an API Client like Postman to send the web requests. Here's the cap 1.000 issues.

Best regards,

Christian

Now we can archive issues individually in the Jira cloud. I am looking for a way bulk archive issues using specific JQL

Brandon Biernaczyk

As @Deepak Menezes said there is an Archive option in Cloud version of Jira now. archive cloud.png

I came across article where author shows that he can use archive option in bulk edit mode (but that's on premise one). Is it somehow blocked by default on Cloud?

This seems like a feature that should be added for JSM. Is there an enhancement request that we can vote on?
