Bulk actions on issues

When you need to act on many issues at once — reassign a batch, push several to the next status, or clear out a set — bulk actions save you doing it one by one.

Required role: Manager or Collaborator for bulk assign and bulk update. Bulk delete is Manager or Organization Admin only. Guests can't use bulk actions.

Select issues

1. In the Issues list, select the issues you want to act on (use filters first to narrow the list).
2. Choose a bulk action.

You can act on up to 100 issues at a time.

Bulk assign

Assign a batch of issues to the same company and/or person.

1. Select the issues and choose Assign.
2. Set the company and/or person (the person must belong to the chosen company).
3. Confirm.

Result: all selected issues are reassigned, and newly assigned people are notified.

Bulk update

Change one or more fields across many issues at once — for example status, priority, due date, phase, or location.

1. Select the issues and choose Update.
2. Set the fields you want to change.
3. Preview the change first — Builddar shows which issues are eligible, which aren't, and any requirements (like a comment) before you commit.
4. Confirm.

Result: the eligible issues are updated. If some couldn't be changed, Builddar reports exactly which and why.

caution

A bulk status change only works if all the selected issues currently have the same status. If they don't, narrow your selection first.

Bulk delete

Required role: Manager or Organization Admin.

1. Select the issues and choose Delete.
2. Confirm.

Result: the selected issues are removed. As with all deletions in Builddar, this is a soft delete and per-issue — you'll see which succeeded.
