Bulk delete issue links in tickets

[Priyanka Agrawal]

I am looking for a way to delete issue links of a particular type from a huge number of jira issues. Few of the issues have more than 2000 links. 

I am using the below automation rule but this get stuck in In progress probably due to large number of links. 

Any better solution/workaround to handle this would be great to know.

I also did not find an API that bulk deletes links from issues.

Hi @Priyanka Agrawal 

You can use the API, see api-rest-api-3-issuelink-linkid-delete 

Still this will have a limit as well, its not specified.

I tried that but I get this error despite having admin permission. Also, it is not mentioned which project is it referring to? I see nothing under "Body".

Hi @Priyanka Agrawal 

No it requires you to have "Link issue permission" on each project in Jira.

So you need to be in the administrator role on each project in Jira.
