Clearing "duedate" field using the bulk edit issues not working

[Miguel Martinez Perez]

Hi!

I am trying to bulk clear "duedate" using the bulk edit issues endpoint and according to the documentation for clearing a date an empty string must be passed to "formattedDate" but I am receiving an 400 error:

Received 400 calling https://colortasks.atlassian.net/rest/api/3/bulk/issues/fields. Error message: {"errors":[{"message":"formattedDate must not be empty"}]}

Payload:

{

    "editedFieldsInput": {

    "datePickerFields": [

        { "date": { "formattedDate": "" }, "fieldId": "duedate" }

    ]

    },

    "selectedActions": ["duedate"],

    "selectedIssueIdsOrKeys": ["<task_key>"]

}

@Miguel Martinez Perez have you tried to set null instead of empty string? I do not have an env to test it at the moment, so please verify it with limited number of tickets or at SBX at first:D

@Marek Bujak reasonable request :-) Yes, I have tried with null for "formattedDate", assigning null and empty object to "date" and all of them are returning a 400 error (the last two with a different error message)

Payload:

{

    "editedFieldsInput": {

        "datePickerFields": [

            { "fieldId": "duedate", "date": { "formattedDate": None } }

        ]

    },

    "selectedActions": ["duedate"],

    "selectedIssueIdsOrKeys": ["<issue_key>"]

}
