      Hi everyone,

      We're happy to announce that we have added functionality to help you identify and delete multiple CFs.

      Custom Field admin screen will contain two extra crucial pieces of information about the custom fields:

      1. The time of last update of the value in any issue or the last time an issue was created with non-default value of the custom field.
      1. The number of issues for which the custom field has a value.

       
      On top of that admin will have the ability to

      • Filter and sort on both columns to quickly identify candidates for removal.
      • Select multiple CFs and delete them in bulk to save time and effort.

       
      All that will be soon available to you in Jira DC 8.16.

      Thank you for your feedback and your patience!

       

      Kind regards,
      Ankit Tiwari

    Description

      Problem Definition

      Currently there isn't a method via the API or native function in general that allows you to bulk delete custom field values.

      Suggested Solution

      Create an API end point or in app function that allows you to bulk delete custom field values.

      Why this is important

      Reduces customer friction in maintaining custom fields.

      Workaround

      Use Custom field editor plugin to create an API script to do so.
