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

Hey there Hwi,

for this case you must involve an issue screen in this transition.
Go under administration - issues - screens and create a new one for this transition - set your wanted fields in this screen.
After you created the screen you can go in the workflow section - your workflow and edit the affected transition.
There you should have an edit button on the right top - there you can set the screen for this transition.

When you want the fields on the transition to be required you have to set a validator on this transition as well.
If your standard JIRA doesn't have a suiting validator you have to install some workflow plugin - if I remind right misc workflow got the feature to check fields.


PS - don't search long for the field comment on the screen.
Comment is always on a screen even if you don't set fields on it.
