I am attempting to do a bulk update of JIRA issues and description field is not available. Is there a way to accomplish this currently or would this be a new "feature"?

Found this: https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Jira-questions/Bulk-Change-Description-Field/qaq-p/897762

Doesn't appear that you can bulk update the Description field at this time unless you go through the API. Hopefully Atlassian changes that. Vote on https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/JRASERVER-67821 to show interest.
