Unwanted fields show up when using Bulk Operation to edit issue fields

Bunty February 19, 2019

Hello All,

When I try using Bulk Operation under the Tools button to my costumed issue type.Bulk1.PNG 

I selected the Edit Issues and wanted to modify the field of this Issue type.

but the it displayed lots of fields that I don't think belong to this issuetype and I cannot find the field I want to modify. Below image is the unwanted fields example.

Bunty

The bulk edit can't do this - it offers all fields that are available to the issues being edited because that's what it is for!

What is the field name you are trying to edit, and what type of field is it (System field like summary, description etc, or a custom field?)

So when you scroll down the list of fields, do you see "Change Story - Mat & Story - Code Review"?  They are sorted alphabetically, after the system fields at the top.

@Nic Brough -Adaptavist- I found this while searching for an answer to this exact same problem. Can you provide any additional insight? I created a custom field called product (a picklist) and its added to all of my issue types and screens. However, it doesn't show up in the bulk edit list.

It will only appear in bulk-edit options if it is available on every issue edit screen for the issues you have selected (at least for the issue types it is available for.  If the field is not on some of the issue types at all, it can still be set on the ones that it is available for)
