How to delete unused screens in jira

[Jonnada Kiran]

Hi. How to delete unused screens using scriptrunner ? I mean screens not associated to any screen scheme or workflow ?

Hi @Jonnada Kiran

I just shared an article on bulk deleting unused screens with JMeter.

https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Jira-articles/Bulk-deleting-unused-screens-in-Jira-with-JMeter/ba-p/961695

It doesn't require additional apps/plugins and is quite safe, since it's just automatically firing HTTP requests that could be made by an actual (admin) user.

As an admin (Jira or System), Admin -> Issues -> Screens, and click "delete" next to each one that has no issue type screen schemes or workflows by it.

Hi Nic. I mean bulk delete using a script.

[Nic Brough -Adaptavist-]

There is nothing in your question that might have told us that.

Do you have an appropriate scripting add-on?

[Jonnada Kiran]

Hi Nic. We have script runner plugin.

Hi i have the same question. How can we mass delete screens in Jira?

[Nic Brough -Adaptavist-]

I apologise @Jonnada Kiran - your response was during a time when Community wasn't informing us well about replies, so I completely missed it.

@Stefani Kaimakliotou- you pretty much need to do some coding, either with ScriptRunner, or one of the other scripting/automation tools, although the ones I've looked at can't quite do it yet.

In both cases, SR (and possibly others) can be used to write a script to iterate over "inactive" screens and delete them.
