Any ideas how to mark multiple issues as done

[Lynne Justice]

I have over 400 child tasks that need to be marked as done. Is there a quick way to achieve this?

Hi @Lynne Justice ,

Bulk operations let you edit multiple issues at once. These actions include transitioning issues, deleting issues, moving issues, and watching or unwatching issues.

In the issue navigator,

Select more ( ... ) in the top right > Bulk change all issue(s).

@Lynne Justice 
There is an option to 'bulk edit' in JIRA. I presume that is enabled for your login.
You should start with trying to figure out a JQL query that returns these 'child tasks' under:
Issues --> Search for Issues (Issue Navigator) --> Sample JQL query --> Search

Sample JQL query:
project = 'project name' AND issuetype in (Story, Task,...) AND "Epic Link" in ('all applicable epic #s')

Once you have the requisite list of child tasks, click on:
Tools  --> Bulk Change --> Select All --> Select 'Transition Issues' --> Next .... --> Done

Let me know if that works or respond here for further clarifications.

Thank you

This does work. I have to say that I tried to edit the issues thinking status was an edit. I missed the detail that you included to select transition issues. So, your instructions work, but the tool is more confusing than I'd expected/hoped.
