Hi,
When making bulk changes through the JIRA interface, it's possible to not send an email notification about the action. We've recently moved to performing some of our bulk actions through the API and are now receiving a lot more emails.
Is it possible to have the API not send emails?
The two API endpoints we're currently using are:
PUT /rest/api/2/issue/KEY
POST /rest/api/2/issue/KEY/transitions
We still want to receive emails when manually making changes.
Provided that there is no way of doing so out of the box, I've thought of a workaround that you might find useful:
Mind that this procedure deactivates all email notifications for a while, so it is better to perform it at out of business hours.
Hope it helps.
Sadly, it's not available yet.

Good point, Nic. Do you have a link which explains how to do a bulk edit through the REST API?

I don't think it will happen like this. REST respects all the settings in the application, and will probably continue to do so. The closest I think you'll get is a "bulk edit via REST" function, with the "do not email people on bulk edit" option

Voted for your suggestion and have started watching it.

It would be a good feature. You can raise a suggestion of improvement here:
