How could I simultaneously open multiple issues?

[Dimitris Dimotsis]

Hello to all.

I am new here and maybe my question can be considered very simple.

I want to open from a list with Jira issues, new browser tabs with the simplest way.

e.g

list of jira issues

1

2

3

Hi

As a Mac user I hover over the issue key and use <cmd>+click to open the link in a new tab.

I've never needed to open more that a dozen tabs.

For larg changes I'd use bulk edit or scripting.

If you're happy with a bit of simple text editing, then you can take advantage of most windowing OS's 

If you associate urls with a browser in the OS, then you can just "run" a url, and the OS will pop the browser automatically.  If you put a list of urls in a file and then "run" the file, then in theory, you'll get loads of browser windows opened, one with each url in the file.  Most modern browsers are a bit more clever than that - the first run will open the browser, but the following ones will go "oh, hang on, browser already running, open a new tab instead".

@Dimitris Dimotsis , For Windows, you would right-click the Issue Key link and then select open link in a new tab. 

You can make this process a bit easier by having a filter, dashboard, or queue that identifies all the issues you want opened. Just go right down the list of issues right clicking or <cmd> clicking and opening them up in new tabs.

As far as something built into Jira, there is nothing like this.
