Bulk edit overviews fields

What is the bulk edition of fields?

This feature introduces the capability to edit multiple issue fields simultaneously within an overview. It is designed to enhance efficiency by allowing users to update multiple related issues at once, directly from the Table view.

A significant pain point for users managing lots of Jira issues is the time-consuming process of updating fields for multiple issues individually. This manual approach can lead to inefficiencies and increased potential for errors, especially when dealing with large projects. The lack of a streamlined bulk editing capability within Jira's native interface exacerbates these challenges, hindering productivity.

How to bulk edit issues

Directly in the overview on the issue, select the issues you want to edit with the checkbox at the left, then click on the Edit button below a compatible column, and enter the desired value.

Please note

• The bulk edit respects user’s permissions.

• For project’s fields (versions, components), values from every project will be displayed and created in the relevant projects if needed.

• If your overview is paginated, the bulk edit will only apply to issues on the page being displayed.
