Updating Multiple Items
If you need to change the same information in a large number of items, use bulk changes instead of manually editing each item. For example, you may need to change the priority of 50 issues from low to high. Instead of editing each issue, you can use bulk changes to update the items simultaneously. See Changing bulk fields.
The information you can change depends on the item type and your security permissions.
