Bulk Edit Add/Remove/Replace Label Option (instead of replace only)

    • We collect Jira feedback from various sources, and we evaluate what we've collected when planning our product roadmap. To understand how this piece of feedback will be reviewed, see our Implementation of New Features Policy.

      NOTE: This suggestion is for JIRA Server. Using JIRA Cloud? See the corresponding suggestion.

      When you bulk edit and change the label, the entire label set gets replaced. it would be nice if there were a way to add/remove labels instead of replacing them. Some people probably do this bulk change thinking they are adding a new label but end up removing the existing labels.

      Certainly not a critical enhancement but one I though of because we had the same issue with ClearQuest keywords. Bulk editing (add/remove/replace) label sets would be a nice feature to have.

            It is critical for me and my colleagues who are working with tens of thousands of JIRA tickets.

            The current adding, removing or changing labels one ticket at a time is not sustainable.

            Working within teams that span multiple JIRA projects, filtering issues and bulk editing is a way of life. Being unable to apply these changes, without destroying existing labels or other values, is critical for efficient reporting.

            This is a larger request than either of JRA-24118 or https://studio.plugins.atlassian.com/browse/LBL-68 which are only for adds.

            Bulk stripping a label without destroying other labels is very valuable.

            Hi! We use labels a lot. Sometimes we want to add a label to many cases. We tried to bulk change but it just cleaned out other labels, causing a big problem. So we change labels case for case, which is very time consuming and really annoying. Please fix this! We think of this as a bug, btw, not as an improvement. /Peter
