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

To copy multiple issues in the list view:

  1. Select the issues that you want to copy.

  2. 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.

Edit issues in bulk in your list

You can edit up to 1,000 issues at once.

To bulk edit multiple issues:

  2. Once you’ve chosen the issues you’d like to edit, select Edit from the toolbar that appears.

  3. A sidebar will open which allows you to make edits for the shared fields across your selected issues.

From the bulk edit sidebar, you can:

  1. See the number of issues you’re editing at a glance.

  2. Choose what you’d like to do with the fields shared across the selected issues by clicking into the field and making direct edits. Some fields may require you to choose from a handful of options. The options depend on the type of field, but may include:

    1. Keep as is - Make no changes to that field across the selected issues.

    2. Add new - Add new values to what’s already there across the selected issues.

    3. Find and remove - Remove a specific value from the field across the selected issues.

    4. Replace all - Replace the existing content for that field across all selected issues.

You can search for additional fields you may want to edit using the search bar.

When you’re done editing, select Next to review your changes on a confirmation screen.
