Can you bulk Recalculate Expressions for issues?

[LukaszMatyszewski]

Hello All,

I have recently added a calculated field to an existing issue form. I want to report on several hounded issues that have gone through the business. Is there a way to bulk Recalculate Expressions for issues? I cant seem to find one.

Thanks,

LM

I think for every form that you put the calculated field on, you would want to go on that form, click on the field in question, and click the "recalculate" checkbox from there.

Hi @LukaszMatyszewski,

I often use the approach Skye described (particularly when I'm updating the formula to something new), but as an alternative, I also often either build a temporary report or (use Search > Advanced Search), filter for the Issues of interest, select them all, click the pencil button to do a "bulk edit", scroll down, check "Recalculate Custom Expressions", save, then for extra confidence, view the results in the view to confirm it worked (noting that sometimes it takes a while).

Regards,

Doug

Thanks both. I have completely forgotten about "Update previous calculation in the backgroud..." I think it must have been called something else in the past.

Many Thanks again

Have a great day!

Hi @LukaszMatyszewski, not sure if you still need to do this but I had the need to do this today. You can do it via a Issue report or a report, it's not super intuitive but you select all the rows you want to do this for, click the Pencil Icon, aka Edit, and then there's a box in the Custom Forms area to check to Recalculate the expressions. Make sure that's checked, hit save changes and there you go! Screenshot attached.
