Possible to save and re-use bulk changes?

[Aaron Axisa]

I have several tickets in my projects that at rather-often points due to external influence need to all move from one state to the other. 

All are easily catchable via a JQL query, and all will have the same state transition. Is it possible to somehow save this query+bulk change so that they just need to click a button and reapply it rather than have to go through the entire bulk-change procedure every time?

Hi @Aaron Axisa 

No I don't believe that this is possible out-of-the-box. 

Obviously you can save the filter so that you will always have access to the list of tickets, but you would need to go through the bulk update wizard each time.

An alternative is to look into the REST API if you have (or know someone who has) some coding skills. Via the API, you are able to transition a ticket, so you would be able to read in the list and transition each ticket.
