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

Adding attachment should throw an issue updated event. Try capturing that in a listener.

Hi Jobin, Is it possible to capture event object on Issue PostFunction to get the attachment object? I have a transition screen where many other fields also exist. On submit, I have some scripts execute on post function. Instead of having a separate listener to get the event object, can I get the attachment from event log? From issue object, I will get all the attachment objects and I need to check the timestamp of each attachment object which is not an ideal way of handling attachments. Could you please suggest?
