How can I change Request Participants in Bulk?

[Nathael Dreymann]

After selecting several tickets, I want to change the Request Participants for all the tickets selected but the field doesn't exist.

 

How can I add this field?

Thanks for your help

Hi @Nathael Dreymann

I'm not sure there is a way to Bulk Change request participants (see JSDCLOUD-1269). You can check this article How to add/update/remove Request Participants using Automation for Jira maybe it would help you out.

Hi @Nathael Dreymann

if you're open to solutions from the Atlassian Marketplace, you may want to have a look at 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 - including all JSM fields - much like you’d do in e.g. Excel or Google Sheets. It also comes with a range of advanced features, including support for bulk editing via copy/paste.

This is how it looks in action:

Of course, you can also use request participants across JXL other advanced features, including support for (configurable) issue hierarchies, issue grouping by any issue field(s), sum-ups, or conditional formatting.

Any questions just let me know,

Best,

Hannes

Hi @Nathael Dreymann,

if you have ScriptRunner you are able to to this:

- create a custom multi user field

- add it to your project (edit) screen

- query for issues, you want to update and save it as a filter

- bulk change to fill this field with the value(s) you want to have in request participant  

- go to ScriptRunner-> Built-in Scripts -> Copy field values

- select your filter you saved in the previous step

- Sourcefield value is your custom field

- Targetfield is request particpants

- Run

- If you want, delete the custom field

Best,

Sven
