Is there a rank/priority field that updates when a number replaces one previously listed?

Question

I have a list of 10 issues that have a priority rank ascending from 1-10.

When a new issue comes in that should be ranked at number 3. I would like the remainder of the numbers to shift down respectively from 4-11.  Is there any capability in Jira currently for a field like this? I've explored but haven't been able to identify,

As issues continually get added, this task may be tedious to update a list of 50+ issues increasing each issue's field incrementally by + or - 1.

Yes, but that has nothing to do with the question you have asked, so I'm not sure what relevance it has.

Hi Nic,

Just for yours and everyone else's awareness (who come across the same issue). There is a Jira Sys Admin capability to utilize something called "External System Import".

This allows you to include the issue Key in your csv file and it will update issues that correspond to that same issue key. This is different that the normal import process most are familiar with that really just creates new issues.

Best Regards,

No, because you would need to make a different change to every issue, and Jira can't know what change you want to make individually.
