how to update label for multiple items in bulk ?

I want to update labels for multiple items separated by "Key" in one step. How to do that ?

Below steps:

1. Search for Issues with the Target Label:

   • Go to Filters > View all issues.

   • Use JQL to find issues, e.g., labels = label-old.

2. Bulk Add a New Label:

   • At the top right of the search results, click the (...) menu and select Bulk Change all <n> issues.

   • Select the issues you want to update and click Next.

   • Choose Edit Issues and click Next.

   • In the operation details, select Change Labels and set it to Add to existing.

   • Enter the new label you want to add.

   • Click Next, review, and Confirm.

3. Bulk Remove the Old Label (if needed):

   • Repeat the search for issues with the old label.

   • Use the bulk change process again, but this time set Change Labels to Find and remove these and specify the old label.

   • Complete the process by confirming the changes.

Hey @Soumyadeep Mukherjee
I have created a quick walkthrough for you to preform actions on issues in bulk which includes labels too. I hope it is helpful and resolves your concern.

Hello @Soumyadeep Mukherjee 

Welcome to the Atlassian community.

Exactly what update do you want about the Labels? Do you want to add 1..n Labels to X issues without removing the Labels that are already there? Do you want to remove 1..n Labels from X issues?

From the List view of a board/project there is a Bulk Edit option that gives the following options for Labels.

There is also a Bulk Change option available from Filters > Search Work Items that gives you these options for Labels in the Edit Operation.
