How to Find and Update multiple Filters?

Hadas Virtzberg_bu5n11

Hello!

I use Jira Cloud and have access to Scriptrunner. I'm trying to find and update all of the filters with a specific 'issuetype= art feature,' get and see a list of them, and then update them to 'issuetype=feature.' 

I would be happy to hear your advise

Hello @Hadas Virtzberg 

Welcome to the Atlassian community.

There is no method in the native Jira Cloud UI to search for filters based on the JQL they use.

Also it is not possible to access the backend database directly, which is what I would recommend if you used self-hosted Jira Server or Jira Data Center.

Have you explored the REST API for filters?

I don't see a method there for finding filters based on their JQL either. You would have to retrieve all the filters and then parse the results yourself to find the ones that match your criteria. You would then use another API call to update the JQL of each filter.
