Delete issue
- Updated: 2026/04/17
The Delete issue action deletes the specified issue from the Jira instance. The action saves the deletion status to a boolean variable.
Settings
The following settings are available in this action:
- Session name
- The name of the session that the Connect action creates. The session name is used as the authentication context for the operation.
- Issue key
- The Issue key identifies the Jira issue to delete. For example, enter PROJ-123.
- Delete subtasks
- The Delete subtasks option deletes all the subtasks of the specified issue. Ensure that you enable this check box as Jira does not allow deleting issues that contain one or more subtasks.
- Assign result to variable
- The Assign result to variable stores the response payload in a boolean variable after the issue is deleted. If the deletion is successful, the response returns the value True and returns False if the deletion fails.
