Hello,
I am trying to Bulk Change the Description of 90 tickets however " Description" field does not show up at "Choose Operation : Edit Issues" . I checked the Edit Screen Scheme and it is there. What am I missing?
For some reason all the custom fields which are not being used by this project show up.
Thanks!
Elif

When will this finally be possible if I may ask? It seems like an important bulk change feature to me and of course I'd need it right now :D

@Aaron-Lyonel Fritschi - I'd (also?) chime in on the ticket linked above, especially if Mohamed turned off notifications on this thread.

The two complex solutions provided unfortunately require global admin permissions, while editing the Description field should not.

Use Project Automation. Hopefully this is part of the standard Jira service.

One workaround is to use the CSV bulk import to mass define Description across many issues.
There's at least two disadvantages to this approach:

@thejeswarareddy_r - the Summary field can't be blank.
However, if you want to bulk edit a bunch of issues to have the same Summary, you can use the CSV method to do this.

Vincent suggested an ingenious workaround that would work for Summary fields too! (It's on this page.)
