I'd like to make a bulk change to a custom user single select field, where I set it to the Assignee for issues which match my JQL criteria.
Bulk edit seemingly only supports setting my custom field to a named user. Help?
Hi @Noble Shore
In addition to all of the other methods suggested...
A simple automation rule could do this. Some things to decide first are: how are you selecting the issues to change, what do you do if the assignee is empty, and where are these issues located (i.e., one project or several). The answers to those will help you build the rule and determine its scope.
Kind regards,
Bill
Hi @Noble Shore
if you're open to solutions from the Atlassian Marketplace, this should be easy to do with the app that my team and I are working on, JXL for Jira.
JXL is a full-fledged spreadsheet/table view for your issues that allows viewing, inline-editing, sorting, and filtering by all your issue fields, much like you’d do in e.g. Excel or Google Sheets. It also supports bulk editing of your issue fields, via copy/paste; this works "within" the various columns of your sheet, but also "across" columns, like so:
As every sheet is based on a JQL statement, and you can update any number of issues in one action, you should be done with your work in no time. (Also note that JXL can do much more than the above: From support for (configurable) issue hierarchies, issue grouping by any issue field(s), and sum-ups, to conditional formatting.)
Any questions just let me know,
Best,
Hannes

Hi @Noble Shore You can use automation. For the trigger you can use "scheduled" then choose your JQL. For the action, choose "edit fields", then select your single select user field. For the smart value use {{issue.assignee}}.
Sorry, misunderstood your question. It is the other way around.

I don't think you can do that with bulk change, but you could use CSV import to update the issues.
