it would be nice, in case of field with e.g. labels, to say, what I want to do with it in bulk operation, to Append or Remove values.
when I select bunch of issues based on custom criteria, all those issues could have labels already, and I do not want to lose them. when I would check Append, labels I chose would be appended to selected issues, when I would check Remove, only those I chose would be removed.
to me multiple value fields are: labels, fixed versions, affected versions, watchers, components.

This would be a major improvement to bulk edit operations. Currently I see this feature almost useless for multiple value fields. I never want to overwrite the existing values, I only want to append additional ones.
Unfortunately, we've learned this a hard way today. Hopefully our PM will be able to fix this in the next couple of hours, but this is just an additional work that is really unnecessary.
Hope you could implement at least some minor improvements in the near future. If an issue already has for example a release version, then append additional one, otherwise add a selected release version to the field.
