Bulk Operations

This page lists every operation BulkOps supports and what each one does.

Free operations

Operation	What it does
Add Labels	Adds one or more labels to each issue (existing labels are kept).
Remove Labels	Removes the listed labels from each issue. Labels that aren't present are ignored.
Change Priority	Sets each issue to the chosen priority.
Reassign	Reassigns each issue to a single user. Pick Unassigned to clear the assignee.

Free operations are limited to 50 issues per run.

Paid operations

Operation	What it does
Transition	Moves each issue through a workflow transition (e.g. In Progress → Done). Only transitions valid for every selected issue are listed.
Comment	Adds the same comment to each issue. Supports rich text.
Watch	Adds the current user as a watcher on each issue.
Unwatch	Removes the current user from the watcher list on each issue.
Move	Moves issues to a different project and/or issue type.
Delete	Permanently deletes the selected issues. This cannot be undone.
Run Preset	Runs a previously saved preset against the current selection.

Paid operations have no issue limit.

How operations are executed

Operations run in parallel in small batches for speed.
Each issue is processed independently — if one fails (e.g. permission denied), the others still complete.
After the run, you'll see a summary: N succeeded, M failed. Failures show the reason next to the issue key.
Every run is recorded in the audit log (admin page).

A note on permissions

BulkOps runs every action as the user who clicked Run — not as the app. If you don't have permission to delete an issue, BulkOps can't either. This keeps Jira's permission model intact.
