How do I avoid being subscribed to work items that I bulk import?

How to unsubscribe from bulk work items? Importing work items with ids with subscriber field blank doesn't help. Is there any way to do it?

Hi Bharath,

I don't think that is possible today.

What you can do is, write a query for the work item based on modification time and subscription by you, run it in the Eclipse Client, select all work items, right click them and in the context menu's sub-menu Subscriptions just unsubscribe.

 Hello,

You may look at the java API.

First, run a query to find the new workitems created by you.
On each workitem :
workitem.getSubscritions().remove(repository.loggedInContributor());
regards,
Sylvain

Sadly, that solution doesn't work. "Subscribed By" is not a possible selection in the Results Layout. No "Subscribed By"column = no bulk unsubscribe.

I discovered you can export the "Subscribed By" column even though it doesn't appear in "Results Layout". I figured I could delete my name and then import it back. No luck. It neither removes my name nor generates an error. I tried replacing my name with another user, but that didn't work either. It appears "Subscribed By" is ignored during an import. So we are SOL on bulk unsubscribe. You CAN change the "Created By" using the "export/change created by/import" method, but that does not unsubscribe you.

Mike,

I tested it - but with 4.0 - where the client has this new menu item.

The only way I could achieve this with older versions would be using the Plain Java Client Libraries.
