Description

« Hide

Add an option to Bulk Add to the Affects Version/s field. The current bulk operation will replace the existing selected versions with the version selected in the bulk operation.

Example use case:

Issue A affects versions 1.1, 1.2 and 1.3
Issue B affects versions 1.2 and 1.3

I release version 1.4 which doesn't fix either issue and want to add version 1.4 to the affects field of both issues. I cannot use the Bulk Change Affects Version/s since it would simply set the field to just 1.4 for both issues.

How are people currently working around this, other than editing issues individually?

I have a half-assed system of getting a list of unresolved issues affecting the previous version, sorting it by "affected version/s", and then selectively bulk editing them in batches which have the same set of affected versions. For example, first I change everything that affects versions 1.0, 1.1, 1.2, 2.0, and 2.1. Then I change everything that affects 1.1, 1.2, 2.0, and 2.1. Then ....

It involves painstakingly going through the "bulk edit" page and ticking those issues that fall into the current batch. Sorting first makes this a bit easier.

But it's still very, very painful.
