Bulk Update Multiple Issue Resolutions

You can now vote for scripts to help people know if they're useful or not. Login or create an account to vote!

Overview

Bulk update the resolution of all issues returned from the JQL search which meet the specified conditions.

Example

As a Jira admin, I want to change the resolution of a large number of issues which were mislabeled. I can use this script to update the resolution of all these issues to their corresponding one (like "Duplicate").

Good to Know

You can use this code as part of a larger script to update the issues resolution based on additional logic.
You can look up the available resolution names in "Jira Settings" > "ISSUE ATTRIBUTES" > "Resolutions".
