How do I do a bulk move within next-gen backlog from "Backlog" to "Board"?

[James MacEwan]

I have dozens of issues in my next-gen project in the backlog. The backlog has two regions "Backlog" and "Board". The issues in the "Board" region show in the TO DO column on the main board view. The issues in the Backlog region do not show on the main board view.

I am using an issue filter to sort my issues in the backlog in a particular order, and wish to do a bulk change of the issues from "Backlog" region to "Board" region. Is there a way to do this? What about a bulk change from "Board" to "Backlog". See image below...

An example filter would be to sort by due date and then do a bulk move of all issues with a due date in the next month from Backlog to Board.

project = JNEXTGEN AND status = "To Do" ORDER BY duedate ASC, updatedDate DESC

According to support, the issue transpires when you hide the Component field in a field configuration that is associated with a field configuration screen.

We don't use component on every project, thus, we hid it.

If you unhide it, it won't fix your issue. You have to go into that project and bulk edit every issue that does not have a component and set one to an arbritary component and then do another bulk edit to clear it.
