How can I bulk label all the issues that belong in a release?

[Utsav Basak]

I want to label all the issues in a particular release under a project. I know it'll be easy to click on the release name and see the issues it contains. But I cannot find an easy way to bulk assign a new label to all the issues contained within.

I want to know if there is a different way to do this? 

Other thoughts: I tried filtering for issues in a particular release and then issuing a bulk action to change labels; but I cannot figure out how to filter for a particular release (for a particular project)

Hi @Utsav Basak and welcome to the Community!  To find issues in a release you can simply use the JQL fixVersion = <your release>

Then bulk update > Add to existing labels.

Hello @Utsav Basak ,

Welcome to community !

Reading your use case I am wondering whether you have explored this approach: 

Post search issue based on release "desired" from Global issue search > click on three dot right hand side > Select "Bulk changes to all XX issues" then you get redirected to the Bulk operation screen select all the issue > then next>  then select Edit issue > Then search " label" field and ensure to use add to existing then add the value of label that you wish to pit in values section > proceed with Next > done. 

It should work like magic in a few minutes to update those issues with the specific label. 

Please try and test it out and let us know if it caters for your use case.

I used a JQL fixversion to find Issues related to the release. Then I used the bulk move as you suggested.

It works. Exactly what I needed.
