Does JIRA issue importer expose API to achieve bulk update existing issues?

[Mengyao Wu CN]

As far as I know there is no JIRA restful API support bulk update existing issues.

I know there is "importing data from json" feature, which requires Jira Administrators permission, and user need to upload the json/csv file trough the UI widget.

So is there any web API for this function? I need to upload json/csv programmatically.

Hello @Mengyao Wu CN 

Welcome to the community!!

For bulk update, there is no API available that will upload the JSON/ CSV programmatically. But a simple script in python or any other language can be developed which will interactively pick each row of the CSV, convert it into the API for issue update and execute the API.
