We are adding around 2k issues per day. We don't need to archive them after they are completed. At the moment we can delete them only using bulk but this action allows to remove only 1k issues. Is there any chance to remove all of them at once?
Now we are wasting time by manually deleting issues.
Appreciate your help in this request.
Hi Robert,
I found this, which may help on server but not for cloud. https://community.atlassian.com/t5/JIRA-questions/How-do-you-increase-the-bulk-change-maximum/qaq-p/417702
But if it were me, I would automate. I would write a script using the REST API that would run daily, deleting issues after a certain amount of time after closure.
With ScriptRunner you can configure Escalation Service that can run periodically and remove all the issues found by defined JQL query - see the screenshot of example configuration:
Above example will run every 60 minutes and delete all the issues found by following query:
project = "Jira" AND Status in (Closed, Resolved)
Here is the script that performs delete using "silent" deleteIssueNoEvent method which is perfect for automated bulk deletes:
import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor def issueManager = ComponentAccessor.getIssueManager(); issueManager.deleteIssueNoEvent(issue);
I tested above approach myself and it works.

It works, the issue(s) get deleted, but atlassian-jira.log contains 2-lines of ERROR message for each issue deleted. (Jira 7.5.1) (ScriptRunner 5.2.1)

Null Issue, I guess because it deleted and nothing to transition.
Any ideas to suppress the messages?
