How to bulk rename jira projects using groovy script

[Abhishek Rawat]

I am trying to bulk rename multiple jira projects. I have a list of current and the new name in a sheet. I am using the following script and it runs perfectly.

I do not know how to run it in a loop so that it picks each item from the old project name column of the excel and updates it with the name in new column in excel.
Here is the code that I am using:

import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor
import com.atlassian.jira.project.UpdateProjectParameters
import org.apache.log4j.Level
import org.apache.log4j.Logger

def projectManager = ComponentAccessor.getProjectManager()
def project = projectManager.getProjectObjByName("Old project name")


if(project) {
def updateProjectParameters = UpdateProjectParameters.forProject(project.id).name("New project name")
projectManager.updateProject(updateProjectParameters)
}
else {
log.debug("Oops, project is unavailable")
}

Also, based on the code,

I created a single groovy script
that can rename multiple projects by uploading a csv with old and new project names.

Hope this helps anyone who is blocked with the same issue.

Cheers!

Hi @Abhishek Rawat 

Let me try to help.

• Convert your Excel into a csv file and then read the csv file in your script.
• Iterate over the list of projects. Check this code.
• Create a method to do the renaming using the code.
