Hi @Ramesh Krishnan ,

Yes, you can edit multiple issues at the same time (based on your JQL query). Here's an official documentation on it: Edit individual and multiple issues

Basically, if you would use issue navigator/View all issues option, you could define a JQL query, search for issues and select Bulk change all XYZ issues(s).

Hope this helps.

Cheers,
Tobi

Hi @Ramesh Krishnan

if you're looking for a more interactive bulk editing experience and are open to solutions from the Atlassian Marketplace, you may also want to have a look at the app that my team and I are working on: JXL for Jira.

JXL is a full-fledged spreadsheet/table view for your issues that allows viewing, inline-editing, sorting, and filtering by all your issue fields, much like you’d do in e.g. Excel or Google Sheets. It also comes with a long list of advanced features, including support for inline bulk editing via copy/paste.

This is how it looks in action:

This works within JXL, but also between JXL and pretty much any other app (like e.g. Excel or Google Sheets). 

As every JXL sheet is powered by a JQL statement or saved filter, you have full control over which issues you want to include.

I should also add that JXL can do much more than the above: From support for configurable issue hierarchies, to issue grouping by any issue field(s), sum-ups, or conditional formatting.

Any questions just let me know,

Best,

Hannes
