Speed, agility, and seamlessness are among the pillars of modern-day project and workflow management for Jira users. To consistently deliver value to Jira users and drive productivity across teams, you need tools with capabilities that can help you work quickly, easily, and flexibly.

And not just fast, but lightning fast.?

The Epic Sum Up (ESU) App will give you just that - fast and efficient bulk editing capabilities for all your Jira issues.

While Jira’s own bulk change feature has its benefits, it does have limitations. These limitations include being cumbersome and time-consuming which prevents project managers from focusing on more important project tasks.

So, how can you use the Epic Sum Up to improve the bulk edit operations, boost your speed, agility, and seamlessness effectively on Jira?

Look no further, we have all the answers for you in this article.

Why Project Managers Need to Mass Edit in Jira

Bulk editing is a great option for users who are in super user roles (project managers, scrum masters, product owners/managers, etc.), who find themselves having to change more than one ticket at a time due to changing timelines, status updates, etc.

There are many reasons why a project lead may need to create a Jira bulk change issue:

· ? ? ? ? Change assignee of multiple issues (people changing role, leaving

company, etc.)

· ? ? ? ? Move issues from one Epic to another

· ?? ? ? Changing project timelines

· ? ? ? ? Project has been completed and needs to be archived

JIRA BULK EDITING 101

The bulk change (editing) feature on Jira lets you make changes across multiple projects or edit multiple at once.

This functionality lets you edit, delete, move, transition, watch, or stop watching issues all at the same time.??

?Jira Process for Performing Bulk Edits

Currently there are four (or more) steps of Jira’s bulk change operation: choose issue, choose operation, operation details, and confirmation. And within these steps are additional settings that need to be specified as well. Only after you’ve finished these steps can you move on to make your changes.

While it’s helpful that Jira offers this feature, these limitations can cause frustration for Jira users because it lowers productivity by preventing users from performing bulk edit operations efficiently. For Project Managers dealing with thousands of issues at once who don’t have a lot of time to spare, the process of using Jira’s bulk change feature can be clumsy and lacking in efficiency.

?Limitations of Jira’s Bulk Change Feature

?Limit On Number of Issues That Can Be Edited

Only 1000 issues can be bulk edited at one time. Although, this limit can be reconfigured in Jira it is not advisable because it can cause server overload.

?Some Fields Can’t Be Edited

System fields such as issue type, fix versions components, parent, and linked issues can’t be changed in bulk change operations.

?Multiple Steps for Editing Process

To perform just one bulk change operation, you must go through at least four screens. It’s not only time consuming; but it also decreases flexibility and weakens the fast-paced dynamics of agile teams.

?So, what can Project Managers do to overcome these limitations??
