Hi @Mary Frize , welcome to the Community!
I haven't seen the term "End Date" used in this context, could you elaborate on what you're intending to do? I am inferring that you mean to either remove access, or otherwise deactivate some of your customer accounts.
Are these customers "Internal" to your organization, or are they external users?
Internal users can be fully deleted, and this is usually done if that person no longer works at your company.
External users can have their access removed from your specific instance.
Either way, when an internal user is deleted, or an external users' access removed, there is only minimal impact to their ticket data.
As far as I know, the only impact is for deleted users. All ticket data remains, but where that user was the "Reporter" or "Assignee", they will show up as "Deleted User" instead. You can read more about this in this Atlassian Documentation page.

To address the Bulk Change question, you're pretty much correct on the process. There are some items to consider though:
- A bulk change applies to all issues that appear as part of an Issue Search. Make sure that you're extremely specific with the filters you're applying.
- Changing the reporter should modify the reporter on all tickets in your search.
- If you extend your search to the Assignee field, you'll want to make sure the person you want to put into this field has the "Assignable User" permission. This is a project level permission that restricts which users can be assigned to tickets.
Hope that helps!
