Bulk Edit and Bulk Move APIs (Beta) are here!

 

Introducing Bulk Ops APIs

Hello Atlassian Community,

We have listened to customer feedback and now, to better streamline your experience working with Atlassian products, we’re thrilled to announce that the Bulk Ops (Operations) APIs Beta program is ready for public use. This feature gives you precious time back to focus on high-value initiatives by enhancing Jira’s flexibility with automation process that reduce manual human intervention for large volumes of issue updates.

Increased Product Immersion and Efficiency

A lot of Atlassian customers were demanding the Bulk Ops APIs, so we listened to them and worked towards providing a better experience to all the customers.

Because the Jira UI requires operational work to be done manually, it can be time-consuming to make bulk issue changes. Using Bulk Ops APIs, the update process for large volumes of issues can be automated, increasing workflow efficiency while decreasing the chance of user-errors.

Additionally, because bulk issue updates are now taking place through the APIs instead of in the Jira UI, you are able to continue working while issue updates occur in the background.

The Beta program offers two APIs:

  1. Bulk Edit API

  2. Bulk Move API

The Bulk Edit API allows you to search/edit fields, return paginated results, and track the progress of bulk operations.

Similarly, the Bulk Move API allows you to move issues between projects and issue types, specify values for mandatory fields, and monitor the progress of these operations.

We know that every organization has unique requirements. So we designed the Bulk Ops APIs to be flexible, allowing you to build on top of them to meet your specific use cases. Whether it's automating routine tasks or ensuring data consistency across large volumes of issues, the Bulk Ops APIs are designed to provide a more efficient and error-free way to manage your teams projects in Atlassian.

Join the Beta Program Today 

While Bulk Ops APIs are currently slated to release in Q3 2024, we are inviting all Atlassian users to join the Beta program right now! Participants in the Beta will experience firsthand how these APIs can streamline your workflows, save you time, and improve organizational productivity.

This is a great opportunity to provide tailored feedback that will help us refine feature capabilities over time, making it even more valuable to you. If you would like to share feedback, please do so in this discussion group or you can book a video call session with me using this calendar.

 

API Documentation is available here
