user properties: can I add them to many users without having to set them user per user?

[Joao Marcelo Brasil]

Is there any way to add user properties to many users without having to get into each user's profile and setting them?

For instance, I created a property called "office", which determines the office location of the user. Everything is working great, but I have to get into each user's profile and set them user per user.

I looked for a jelly script tag that would allow me to do that, but couldn't find one.

Rds,

Hi,

AFAIK there is no UI which allows bulk editing of user properties.

However see https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/JRA-12861 and http://forums.atlassian.com/thread.jspa?forumID=100&threadID=19976 how to use Jelly in a generic way (Jelly is capable of invoking any JVM methods) to set user property. So it looks like you could do this even without having a dedicated tag for it.

Cheers,
Wojtek

Hi,

the Jelly script in that link worked very well in JIRA version 4.x.x but the API changed in JIRA 5.0. Could somebody correct this script for new version of JIRA?

Thanks.
