Hi Community,

I’m using Jira Cloud since 1 year and I have noticed that when I try to bulk edit issues, the option to change the assignee is missing. I’ve checked my permissions and I do have the ability to assign issues individually.

Has anyone run into this before? Is there a setting I need to enable to get the bulk edit option for assignees?

Thanks in advance!

Hi, 

the option is under Operation Details in Jira. 

First choose the "..." -> Bulk change work items :

Choose your operation, in this case "Edit work items":
