Editing multiple issues in bulk
You can edit multiple issues in your plan, so you don't have to make the same change for several issues over and over again.
Bulk actions in the new experience
At this time, you can perform the following actions:
- Edit the release of issues (only if the issues belong to the same project)
- Move issues to a new parent (only if the issues are of the same hierarchy level)
- Remove issues from a plan

- Make sure the checkboxes for the release changes are selected, then click Save selected changes in Jira.
Moving issues to a new parent
To move multiple issues to a new parent, the issues must be of the same hierarchy level. Also, issues of the highest level in the hierarchy can't be moved to a new parent since these issues can't be moved any higher.
