How to bulk operate AC checked

[Linclon Yang]

For history reason, we have more than 200 stories closed with no checked AC, so I need to check them automated. How to bulk operate them? Please help me, thanks!

Hi @Linclon Yang

Developer of "Checklist for Jira" App for Jira Server/DC here.

In Jira there is a concept of bulk edit to modify multiple issues, but this will overwrite the items in the checklist. If you have checklists with different list of items, you would essentially lose them. If you have the same list of items in every issue, you could use the bulk edit to achieve what you want.

Otherwise you will need to use automation methods like:

• Bulk transition all issues, with a (temporary new) transition from "Done" to "Done" containing a post function that checks all items
• REST API to update each issue
  • "Automation for Jira" allows to edit issues with REST. We don't have examples for this in our documentation but if you want to try it out I can provide some here.
• Groovy Scripts to update each issues (would be somewhat more complicated)

I hope this will help you find a good solution!

Kind regards

Thanks a lot,  Maxime, 

I have used the 'bulk edit' to modify multiple status of issues, so I wonder there is a same way to modify AC's item check status. (But actually there is no such method )

I am not admin of Jira, so develop way is hard to me.

Thank you very much for your help though.

Hello @Linclon Yang ,

Welcome to Atlassian Community. any chance can you please add more inputs.

If "AC" is a check box field, please create a self transition on the Closed status and, add the "AC" to edit the screen if not available. and Try JQL by finding all the issues

Project = ABC and AC = "True" and status = closed.

You can perform the Bulk operation on the above for now.

after this delete the self Transition, you can add a validation on "AC" towards to "Closed" status.

I hope it may helpful.

Thanks,

Thanks, Anvesh, I mean "AC" is Acceptance Criteria Checklist, sorry for misleading. 

I would like to check all items for those 200 stories which closed.
