Summary

When performing a bulk delete operation, if one of the issues included in the bulk contains a sub-task that is not included in the bulk operation.

This behaviour can be actually expected as Jira is avoiding to delete an issue that is not in the operation scope (deleting a parent also deletes the sub-tasks). However, the way this errors out should be better handled.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Create a task (i.e: ABC-1)
2. Create a sub-task (i.e: ABC-2)
3. Perform a search that includes the task (ABC-1) and doesn't include the sub-task (ABC-2).
4. Proceed with a Bulk Delete for the search created.

Expected Results

Jira throws an error describing that the opeartion is not possible because of a sub-task that is not in the scope.

Actual Results

Jira throws a generic error.

Workaround

Manually check all the parents and remove the ones with issues outside of the bulk scope. Or include all the sub-tasks in the bulk.
