Error 50 after first step in bulk delete

[Nic Cusack]

I am using bulk Delete to remove items from a JIRA Project. I was able to use it twice but the third time I received the error 500 Sorry, we had some technical problems during your last operation. The log shows:

Referer URL: http://csjiraaus.harris.com/secure/views/bulkedit/BulkEdit1!default.jspa?reset=true&tempMax=87

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Passed List had more than one value.

I tried changing the filter but no change. I tried logging out and logging back in no change. Any thoughts?

Can you paste the rest of the stacktrace - it usually contains some more clues as to what it doesn't like.

Probably something corrupted on one of the issues, are you able to narrow it down to a specific issue? Also, just because it throws an exception, doesn't necessarily mean it did not end up deleting the issue, have you verified that the bulk delete gets stuck on a specific issue? It iterates over them from your search results, so with that in mind, assuming that the order does not change, it should fail at the same issue, or, it actually deletes it, throws an exception, maybe stops, but, deletes the issue, then it could as well be you see the same exception but for another issue. 

This also sounds similar to this, I imagine the same problem might apply trying to delete the issue as well - https://confluence.atlassian.com/jirakb/jira-throws-caused-by-java-lang-illegalargumentexception-passed-list-had-more-than-one-value-when-viewing-an-issue-836601834.html

In any the rest of the stacktrace could point us closer.

Thank you for your response. The problem is caused by a specific issue that has been corrupted. I have tried to delete the issue from JIRA but I get an error when I do that. I have worked around it by excluding that issue from the import
