Bulk change of labels in JIRA - how to?

Question

Hi guys,

we need to change/delete labels of more than 2000+ more issues. By Bulk change it is not possible to delete labels only change which means that the new label replace the old one.

So it is also not possible to put a label to another existing one. The new one always rewrite the old.

So my question is how to:

* delete labels by bulk issues

* add labels to existing by bulk issues

Thanks for your help in advance,

Rumi

It looks like we have this functionality now, see this article for bulk editing / adding labels in JIRA

We're on server 7.9.2 and there is an option under bulk to 'Find and remove these' which then let's you enter the label(s) you want to remove - It only removes those ones.
