How to bulk update the description of user stories

Suman Chakraborty_q37pvn

I have tried the bulk change option to update the Description field of multiple user stories.

Step 1 - I selected 3 user stories and selected bulk change on right click

Step 2 - selected operation - edit field value of issues

Step 3 - i could see 3 check boxes for 'Change Description' and i selected them all and provided a new text in them

Step 4 - reviewed and submitted.

Message came that it was updating 24 issues (not sure why? cause i had selected only 2 issues to do this change).

Post completion, description was not updated on those 2 issues. Can you please let me know what exactly happened here and how can i update the Description field of multiple user stories.

Went to Project Board - > Backlog -> shows me the Epics / Issues on the right, and from there i selected multiple issues (user stories in my case) and right click -> bulk change

Sorry cant post screenshots as its restricted.

Hi @Suman Chakraborty , The default system Description cannot be bulk edited - JRACLOUD-81821. I am thinking that someone has created three custom fields called "Description". You can confirm this by going to admin > issues > custom fields. I expect your actions edited those custom fields.
