Can I change issues in an Excel like manner?

[Morten Straube Andersson]

Hi

I'm sometime updating a lot of issues where I change some custom fields (Who the responsible at the customer, which order will they be solved based on a numeric value) 

I would like to do theese changes in an Excel like style, in stead of having to open every issue editing and savig. 

Is this possible, either in "normal" Jira or via some add-in?

Hello @Morten Straube Andersson

I am afraid out of the box it's not possible to do what you want in Jira (only bulk update is possible)

But you can try this plugin which allows Excel like issue update.

Hi @Morten Straube Andersson, 

you can bulk edit issues in Jira, you can check this documentation on how to do this.

Let me know if you have any questions,

Hi @Alexis Robert

Nope, that does not solve my problem, becuase the value beeing assigned to each issue is different. (The solve order will always be different for every issue)

So the problem is that I would like to easy edit a lot of issues one at a time with different values for each issue
