Summary
By default, Jira has a 1000 issue limit on the number of issues that can be modified in bulk.
This limit is in place to prevent issues with system stability.
Environment
Jira Server and Data Center.
Solution
The bulk edit limits are in place to prevent issues with system stability.
Please increase this amount slowly and test frequently to avoid system stability issues.
Add jira.bulk.edit.limit.issue.count=2000 to jira-config.properties.
Restart JIRA.
Verify it appears in the startup logs, e.g.:
1 2 3 4___ Application Properties _________________ ... jira.bulk.edit.limit.issue.count : 2000
✔️ You are now able to bulk edit more issues.
