Can you bulk disable custom field values from within Jira?

[Andrew Zimmerman]

I have a scenario where several hundred field values need to be disabled for a multi-select list custom field in Jira. Is there any way to bulk disable custom field values within the Jira interface, perhaps with Scriptrunner?

Or, is disabling values one by one the only way to handle this from within Jira?

Thanks!

The problem was that I had to use POST, not PUT.

The payload got really simple:

{

'transition': {

'id': 81 # Resolved (for my setup)

}}

I now got HTTP 405. This is most probably related HTTP/HTTPS.

I found it much more simple to use urllib instead of restkit. See my final solution below:

import urllib

import urllib2

import base64

import json

key = 'MYISSUE'

#comment = "It's done!"

username = 'xxxx'

password = 'yyyy'

# See http://docs.atlassian.com/jira/REST/latest/#id199544

url = 'http://<mysite>/rest/api/2/issue/%s/transitions' % key

auth = base64.encodestring('%s:%s' % (username, password)).replace('\n', '')

data = json.dumps({

'transition': {

'id': 81 # Resolved (for my setup)

}

})

request = urllib2.Request(url, data, {

'Authorization': 'Basic %s' % auth,

'Content-Type': 'application/json',

})

print urllib2.urlopen(request).read()
