There is an addon for Jira which allows you to do this - Optimizer for Jira...

This probably didn't exist at the time the question was asked, but now there is a Bulk delete custom fields Jira (Server/DC) REST API that'll do it.

Thanks @WW  For sharing the latest API doc.

Also a btw, running the bulk delete custom fields can cause severe performance issues as I discovered.

Granted, we have a huge instance of Jira. I'm not sure if it'd do the same on a small instance.

Hello,

Unfortunately it's not possible, you can vote for those feature request :

https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/JRASERVER-60618

https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/JRASERVER-44728

If you have a add on like scriptrunner, you can maybe write some code (look at the comment in the first link )

Hope this helps

hmm..i have checked issue type scheme can be deleted by script while Custom field deletion is possible individually only.

Anyways thanks
