Remove flags in bulk from current sprint

[Jan Voorsanger]

I want to remove the flags in bulk on all issues in the current sprint NOT in the backlog. I wish to trigger this manually at the right time. How exactly can I do that? Thx!

Hi @Jan Voorsanger

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, much like you’d do in e.g. Excel or Google Sheets. It also comes with a long list of advanced features, including the ability to bulk-edit and bulk-clear your issues in just a click, like so:

I should add that JXL can do much more than the above: 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

Hi, 

this rule is fairly easy to create. As a trigger you can use "Scheduled" and put a date and time far in the future, this will still give you the option to run the rule manually when you need it.

Then, the JQL is pretty specific to the Flag field, this is how you find issues flagged in the current sprint : 

"flagged[checkboxes]" = Impediment and Sprint IN openSprints()

You can then select the action to edit the Flagged field and leave empty the value, as this will remove the flag.

Let me know if this helps,
