How can I link several JIRA issues to one JIRA issue?

bulk tools can't do that

Hi @林博助 

Welcome to the Atlassian Community.

Bulk tools will allow you to connect several Jira issues to one issue. 

Please follow these steps

1. Search for all the issues you want to link to a single issue

2. Use bulk tools to select the list of issues

3. Edit the issues and add the link to the single issue. 

The reason this works is that all links are two-way and so you need to make sure you use the right description. 
For example you might have
Problem-Incident with the two relationships - Causes and Caused By

Regards

The key here is to think in reverse. Don’t try to link say 5 issues to one issue but rather link the one to the 5.

• Choose all the issues you like to link

Cloud

• In issue view click Link issues in the action bar
• Choose link type

What if I have 100 tickets I want to link to this one? I used to be able to do this on older versions of Jira and now it's gone. 

How would you suggest I link 100 tickets to this one?

In old version of cloud jira user was able to link issues to ticket using the filters. But in new one it is gone. You can add manually and if need to add many tickets I use the workaround by creating the excel table copy-paste the ticket numbers, but still need manually select it from the suggestions. I don`t find any other way to do it with UI.
