Use this interactive demo to learn how to bulk move multiple issues across projects in Jira.

Quick summary

The Jira bulk move issues feature lets you reassign multiple issues to a different project in a few clicks using the built-in Bulk Change workflow. This saves time compared to moving issues one by one and keeps your project backlog organized across teams.


Steps

  1. Navigate to your desired Jira project and click on it to open.
  2. Click 'Issues' in the project sidebar.
  3. Click the ellipsis icon to open the additional options menu.
  4. Select 'Bulk Change all issues' from the dropdown menu.
  5. A checkbox will appear next to each issue — select the issues you want to move.
  6. Click 'Next' to proceed to the bulk operation screen.
  7. On the next screen, select the 'Move Issues' option as your bulk operation.
  8. Click 'Next' to continue to the target project selection.
  9. Select the target project where you want to move the issues.
  10. Review the details and click 'Confirm' to proceed with the move.
  11. Once completed, a confirmation screen will appear indicating the bulk move was successful — click 'Done'.

📌 Why this matters

The ability to bulk move issues in Jira is critical for teams that need to reorganize work across projects quickly — without the manual overhead of updating tickets one by one. When backlogs grow or team structures change, bulk moving issues keeps sprint planning accurate and project boards clean. This feature reduces administrative time significantly, letting engineering and project management teams stay focused on delivery rather than housekeeping. For organizations managing multiple Jira projects simultaneously, mastering bulk operations is essential to maintaining a scalable, well-structured workflow.
