Bulk edit option not present for custom fields when issues are in certain status
Platform Notice: Cloud Only - This article only applies to Atlassian products on the cloud platform.
Summary
Bulk edit option is not showing for the custom fields during bulk operation when the issues are in certain status.
Environment
Jira Cloud
Cause
The workflow status contained the property key: jira.issue.editable set to false, therefore restricting any editing when the issue is in that status.
Solution
To bulk edit the issues, remove the property key from the workflow status. Add the property key back if required.
