Update multiple issues at once
Working with multiple issues at once can save you significant time.
Bulk edit issues
To perform bulk operations:
- Make sure you're in either the List or Table layout - bulk operations aren't available in other layouts.
- Select issues by clicking the checkbox next to each one, or use the select all checkbox at the top of the list.
- After selecting issues, update the available properties at the bottom of the screen.
- Click the Update button to apply your modifications. Until you click this button, your changes won't be saved.
Available bulk operations
You can modify several properties across multiple issues simultaneously:
- Change the state (like moving issues from "In Progress" to "Done")
- Update priority levels
- Assign or reassign team members
- Add issues to cycles
- Change issue types
- Apply or remove labels
- Set or modify modules
- Add or update start and due dates
Subscribe to multiple issues
If you need to keep track of several issues at once, you can subscribe to multiple issues in a single operation. This ensures you'll receive notifications about any updates to those issues.
Manage issue lifecycle
You can also perform bulk management actions:
- Archive multiple issues when they're no longer active but you want to preserve their history.
- Delete multiple issues if they're no longer needed (note: this action cannot be undone)
Tips for bulk operations
- Take advantage of filters to select related issues more easily.
- Double-check your selection before performing destructive actions like deletion.
- Consider using bulk operations during project transitions or when doing major reorganization of work
