Is there a way to enter bulk information?

[Jim Stewart]

I created a bunch of stories and then added them to epics by going into each story and then to 'epic link.' This is tedious and I have the sense that there must be a bulk way to do this. Likewise adding version numbers, etc. Can't find this any documentation. Thanks.

Hi @Jim Stewart ,

Yes, there is a way to edit a number of stories in bulk where you could set the 'epic link'. This article describes the steps:

For Cloud:

https://support.atlassian.com/jira-software-cloud/docs/edit-multiple-issues-at-the-same-time/

For Server:

Also, you can drag and drop the stories into the epic in the backlog view.

Hope it helps,

Carlos
