Can someone tell me how or why we cannot update issues with the new Teams field?

Hi Lee,

Unfortunately, that field is not available yet for Bulk Update or Automation Rules. Not aware of a timeline when it will be either.

Hi @Lee Street 

The field is there for me in bulk edit.

It won't show up if you have Sub-tasks in the filter (as these should inherent Team from the parent), but if you exclude them it's available.

---

You can also use Automation for this, you can set a Team via advanced editing on the Edit Issues action.

The JSON would look like this...

{
"fields": {
"customfield_10001":"4y2469q0-2pa5-4wr3-941q-8e6ty478di7r"

}
}

---

In this instance...

  • customfield_10001 is the field ID for the Team field
  • 4y24... is the Team ID, which you can find in your Team's URL - .../jira/people/team/<team ID here>

---

Let us know if this works for you!

Hi @Lee Street

I don't know if this problem, in itself, justifies additional tooling for you, but just to put it out there: If you're open to solutions from the Atlassian Marketplace, this works as expected in 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 the team field - much like you’d do in e.g. Excel or Google Sheets. It also supports bulk editing via copy/paste, like so:

You can update any number of issues in one action, so you should be done with your work in no time. I should add that JXL can do much more than that: From support for configurable issue hierarchies, to issue grouping by any issue field(s), sum-ups, or conditional formatting.

Any questions just let me know,

Best,

Hannes

I was looking for a free solution.  Thanks for the heads up on the App though
