Is it possible to run an automation on several items via Bulk Change (clicking on Tools icon) ?

The automation is manually triggered and I don't want to do it item by item. Thanks

Hi @scrivanosilvio,

Welcome to Atlassian Community!

Short answer is no, manual automations cannot be triggered via the bulk change. Bulk change would only trigger automations that act on field changes/transitions.

Hi @scrivanosilvio and welcome to the Community!

If you set up a scheduled automation rule, you can add a JQL filter to that trigger to execute the rule on a maximum of 100 issues at once. From within the rule, you can even run that rule.

If you choose this approach, be careful to not leave it enabled if you don't want to let it run automatically according to schedule, though ... 😉

Hope this helps!
