Bulk change status of listed issues

[Anna Pinardi]

Hello!

I want to bulk change the status of many issues in a list. I select the issues for bulk changes, I get to Step 3 of 4: Operation Details, but I don't see the option of massively changing the status of the issues.

Can you help?

Thanks!

That doesn't sound right.  I suspect you may have chosen "edit" instead of "transition issues".  Status is not a field, so you can't edit it, you have to move the issues through the workflow.

Yes! Thank you, that was the problem. :-)

Hi. As my opinion,You should select the correct option as below screenshot and you will see status in step 3

The transition issues permissions are not enabled as in the below screen. What changes should I do in the Workflow so that this option is enabled.

	Edit Issues	Edit field values of issues
	Move Issues	Move issues to new projects and issue types
N/A	Transition Issues	NOTE: You do not have permission to perform a bulk transition on the selected 1 issues.

Do you have admin permission ? OR you can ask admin to add to your role by do below steps:

1. Go to Project Settings

2. Navigate to Users and Roles section>> Permission

3. In the right hand page, move to Issue permissions

4. You will see "Transition Issues" here => just add role you're to this permission

I checked the Permissions. I am a part of Project role Administrator. This role is mapped to the Transition Issue as mentioned by you in the screenshot.
