Transition an issue
You can only change the status of multiple issues from the board if you’re in a software project.
Drag and drop an issue between columns to transition it.
To transition multiple issues from the board:
Select multiple issues from the board. You can either:
hold Ctrl (Windows) or Command (Mac) while selecting issues
hold the Shift key to select a group of adjacent issues
Drag the issues into the column corresponding to the new status. If you are unable to move the issues using this method, complete the following steps.
Right-click or select More actions (•••) on one of the selected issues, then select Bulk change.
Select Transition Issues and then Next.
Select the available workflow action. The actions available are dependent on the issues (and their associated workflows) that you have selected. Select Next.
Select a value for any required fields for this transition, and if available, decide whether you'd like to send email notifications. Select Next.
Review your changes and select Confirm, then Acknowledge.
Move an issue’s position within the column
Drag and drop an issue within a column to rank it. You can also right-click the issue to open a menu that allows you to send it to the top or the bottom of the current column.
