What is the challenge? |
I want to keep certain custom fields clean and it is time-consuming to select the data one at a time to delete them |
|---|---|
What is the impact? |
It takes a lot of maintenance to clean up custom field data that comes in across integrations that I then need to remove |
Describe your idea |
For a custom field, when you manage the choices, be able to bulk delete from that list (as long as the data is not in use in a record) |
Our scenario: We run a quarterly planning process that utilizes the prioritization tool to rank the work being considered in the quarter. These values are transferred into a custom number field so we can report on the rank and transfer it into Jira for reporting in that tool. Once planning is completed, and the final set of work items are selected, the rank of the remaining items is transferred to another custom number field.
We re-use the same planning and final rank custom field from quarter to quarter, so it's important to be able to clear them as we enter each planning cycle. Lacking the ability to do this in bulk make the process much more time consuming.
