Why is it not possible to move multiple issues at once?

Markus_ct0073

Like you have a column "To Do" with 20 issues and want to move them to the next column "In Progress". Why do you have to move them one by one instead of selecting them all and just drag them all at once into the next column?

I mean its no problem to add multiple Issues in the sprint backlog to a Sprint by holding CTRL, selecting the issues you want to move and just drag&drop them to the sprint.

So why doesnt the same thing work for Issues? Is there a technical/design reason for it? Is there maybe a Addon to solve this issue?

It becomes complicated if the issues are of different issue types as that can translate to different workflows so the selected issues may not be allowed into the same status/column. You can see this behavior when you use bulk move feature w/ multiple issuetypes/workflows. The bulk move will only do one type at a time.

Now w/ that said one could certainly argue that the SW could work thru this by disallowing if all issues 'not equal', etc. You might consider looking at the open suggestions and create a one if one doesn't already exist.
