Issue Archiving

[andrewbolster]

Problem trying to solve

Trying to bulk archive issues; the UI doesn't make this easy so I'd hope the jira library just did it, but it doesn't, so I'm gonna try and fix it...

Possible solution(s)

jql = "status = 'done' and type = 'task' order by created desc"
while response:=jira.search_issues(jql):
    archive_keys = set()
    for issue in tqdm(response):
        print(issue.key, issue.fields.summary)
        archive_keys.add(issue.key)
    jira.archive_issues(list(archive_keys)})

Alternatives

This can be accomplished with the existing API like this

jql = "status = 'done' and type = 'task' order by created desc"
while response:=jira.search_issues(jql):
    archive_keys = set()
    for issue in tqdm(response):
        print(issue.key, issue.fields.summary)
        archive_keys.add(issue.key)
    jira._session.put(jira._get_url(f"/issue/archive"), data={"issueIdsOrKeys": list(archive_keys)})

Additional Context
