Issue(s) to operate on

Select the issues to be deleted. They can be:

• Target issues

  • Current issue: Select this option to delete the current issue. This is the default option.

  • Sub-tasks of the current issue: Select this option to delete the sub-tasks of the current issue

  • Parent issue of the current sub-task: Select this option to delete the parent of the current issue. Note the subtasks of the parent are also deleted.

  • Issues that belong to the current issue (Epic): Select this option to delete the issues that belong to the current Epic

  • Epic of the current issue: Select this option to delete the Epic of the current issue

  • Child issues of the current issue in the Portfolio hierarchy: Select this option to delete the child issues of the current issue in the Portfolio hierarchy

  • Parent issue of the current issue in the Portfolio hierarchy: Select this option to delete the parent issue of the current issue in the Portfolio hierarchy

  • Issues linked to the current issue through any link type: Select this option to delete all issues linked to the current issue

  • Issues linked to the current issue through the following link type: Select this option to delete the linked issues of a specific link type. Select the specific link type under “Issue link”

  • Issues returned by the following Nunjucks template:  Select this option to delete the issues returned by the result of a Nunjucks template. Input a Nunjucks template which is a comma-separated list of valid issue keys. For example:

    • "TEST-1"

    • "TEST-1","TEST-2"

    • {{ issue.fields.parent.key }}

    • {{ issue.fields.subtasks | join(",", "key") }}

  • Issues returned by a JQL search: Select this option to delete the issues returned by a JQL search. Input a JQL search expression. For example:

    • project = TEST returns issues of the project with the key TEST

    • project = {{ issue.fields.project.key }} and assignee = {{currentUser._accountId}} returns issues of a project that belong to the project with key TEST and the assignee is the current user

  • Code Block
    {% if issue.fields.assignee %} assignee = {{issue.fields.assignee._accountId}} {% else %} issuekey=INVALID-1 {% endif %}

    Note that the {% if %} block is necessary to avoid an invalid JQL query when the issue is unassigned. In that case, the template will return a valid JQL query that returns no issue (issuekey=INVALID-1).
