How to Bulk Change the Work Status in Jira

Updated on:

Use this interactive demo to learn how to update multiple Jira ticket statuses at once.

Quick summary

Jira's bulk status change feature lets you select multiple tickets in the list view and update their work status simultaneously in just a few clicks. This saves teams significant time compared to updating each issue individually.


Steps

  1. In the list view of your Jira space, find the tickets you want to edit and tick the checkbox beside each one.
  2. Go to the floating menu at the bottom of the window and click 'Change Status'.
  3. Click the drop-down menu to reveal the available status options.
  4. Choose the new status you want to set for the selected tickets.
  5. Click 'Submit' to confirm your selection.
  6. The work status of all selected tickets in your Jira space will be changed in bulk.

📌 Why this matters

Updating ticket statuses one by one in Jira is a time-consuming bottleneck for busy development and project teams. Jira's bulk status change feature allows teams to select multiple issues simultaneously and apply a new work status in a single action, dramatically reducing manual effort. This keeps sprint boards accurate and project visibility high without interrupting workflow. For teams managing large backlogs or sprint transitions, bulk status updates are an essential productivity feature that minimizes admin overhead.
