Jira service desk api to bulk delete all the custom field options\values

[Ninad Desai]

Hi Team,

Is there any Jira service desk API available to bulk delete all the custom field options that we would have passed as drop-down values previously for the custom field?

I could see below API but it would require first optionId to be figured out for every custom field value and pass as a input. In my case, I want to delete all of those without passing optionId.

Thank you in advance.

Regards,
Ninad

Hi @Ninad Desai You can simply get all the custom field options first and then loop through all of them to delete those one by one. Refer this thread for some inspiration.

Hi @Kishan Sharma ,

Thanks for the suggestion and yes, I had implemented it in the same way last week as workaround: where I am pulled all of the options ID of all those custom fields options/values and looped over to delete them using the available API call mentioned here:
