IBM Doors - Deleting multiple links in any link type
Accepted answer
Create a String attribute called LinkBlank
Assign it to the artifact type
Select the artifact with 50 links
Select Link By Attribute function from artifact menu
Select attribute LinkBlank
Select link type Link From
Select option 'Remove links that don't have a matching ID'
All Link From links will be removed form the artifact
Just leave the LinkBlank attribute in place for future batch link deletion.

Nice one, Sean!
Good hint. My only issue is that it can be problem for people without permissions to change artifact data model.
@Bartosz - it'll work with any attribute that's blank, or in fact doesn't contain a number, or even numbers that don't match any of the link IDs.
You don't need to create a special attribute.
But having a generic LinkID attribute defined is very handy for this sort of thing
Thank you Sean, it will help.
