Manage multiple issues from your list
We are releasing this feature slowly so you may not be able to use it just yet.
Unless otherwise noted, the list in software projects is the same for both company-managed and team-managed projects.
You can copy and delete multiple issues in your lists at once. Managing your lists in a few clicks allows you and your team to be more efficient.
Copy multiple issues in your list
You can copy multiple issues in the list and paste them into different applications in the table format.
To copy multiple issues in the list:
Select the issues that you want to copy.
Select Copy to clipboard from the selection bar that appears at the bottom of the screen.
You can now paste the issues into the application of your choice. If the application supports table format, the issues are pasted as a table. For example, MS Excel and Gmail.
You can also use Shift+Select on your keyboard to select the issues.
Edit issues in bulk in your list
You can edit up to 1000 issues at once.
To edit multiple issues from the list:
Select multiple issues from the list. You can either:
use the issue checkboxes
hold Ctrl (Windows) or Command (Mac) while selecting issues
hold the Shift key to select a group of adjacent issues
Once you’ve chosen the issues you’d like to edit, select Edit from the toolbar that appears. This will open the bulk edit sidebar.
Choose what you’d like to do with the fields shared across the selected issues by clicking into the field and making direct edits. You can also search for additional fields you may want to edit using the search bar. Some fields may require you to choose from a handful of options. The options depend on the type of field, but may include:
Keep as is - Make no changes to that field across the selected issues.
Add new - Add new values to what’s already there across the selected issues.
Find and remove - Remove a specific value from the field across the selected issues.
Replace all - Replace the existing content for that field across all selected issues.
Remove all - Remove all values from the field across the selected issues.
When you’re done editing, select Next to review your changes on a confirmation screen.
Select Confirm to save your edits.
Delete multiple issues in your list
You can delete up to 50 issues from the list at once.
To delete multiple issues from the list:
Select multiple issues from the list. You can either:

hold Ctrl (Windows) or Command (Mac) while selecting issues
hold the Shift key to select a group of adjacent issues
