Bulk change status of listed issues

[Deleted user]

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. :-)

Same here. Thanks.

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.

Hi,

I had the same problem as you. 

In my case the current status had no transitions defined in the Workflow to any other statuses. So I added the transition that I wanted to execute and after that the option was available and I succeeded.

Good luck

Did this today as I had made some changes to my workflow and it went so smooth and perfect. Bravo Atlassian.

Kindly mention the changes you did in the workflow to make the transition issue work.

Thanks this was helpful, I choose edit instead of transition at first.
