I know that JRA-10693 and JRA-10699 were closed as too complex.
What I suggest as an improvement is that once the cycle is done for one workflow that the user be returned to the BulkWorkflowTransitionDetails for the remaining bugs that they selected.
Our users have been complaining for years about this and I agree with them that it is clunky.

[JRASERVER-20478] New idea for bulk transitions of issues from different workflows
Thanks for your feedback Jeff.
I'll pass this on to the developers when we look at bulk edits in a future release.
In the mean time I'm closing this issue to keep our JIRA instance tidy.
Cheers,
Roy

added a comment - That exact code needs a couple more checks for null in BulkWorkflowTransition.setWorkflowTransitionSelection().
My comment remains, though, that this is easily implementable

I was able to implement this on our Jira 3.13 after 1 day of work.
Here's what I did (I'd attach all the code, but we've hacked quite a few unrelated things).
4 changes
1. In bulkworkflowtransition_transitionmapping.jsp, change
<input type=radio name="wftransition" id="id_<webwork:property value="/encodeWorkflowTransitionKey(.)" />" value="<webwork:property value="/encodeWorkflowTransitionKey(.)" />" <webwork:if test="/bulkEditBean/transitionChecked(.) == true">checked</webwork:if>/>
to
<input type=radio name="wftransition_<webwork:property value="@workflowstatus/index"/>" id="id_<webwork:property value="/encodeWorkflowTransitionKey(.)" />" value="<webwork:property value="/encodeWorkflowTransitionKey(.)" />" <webwork:if test="/bulkEditBean/transitionChecked(.) == true">checked</webwork:if>/>
2. add to BulkEdit1.java
private final List<WorkflowTransitionKey> workflowKeys = new ArrayList<WorkflowTransitionKey>(); public void resetWorkflowTransitionSelection() { ... workflowKeys.clear(); } public void addWorkflowTransition(WorkflowTransitionKey transition) { if(getSelectedWFTransitionKey() == null) { setSelectedWFTransitionKey(transition); } else { workflowKeys.add(transition); } } public boolean hasAnotherWorkflowTransition() { final boolean has = !workflowKeys.isEmpty(); if(has) { setSelectedWFTransitionKey(workflowKeys.remove(0)); } return has; }
3. change BulkWorkflowTransition.setWorkflowTransitionSelection() to
final Map<String, String[]> params = ActionContext.getParameters(); boolean selectionMade = Boolean.valueOf(params.get("recycle")[0]); if(!selectionMade) { final BulkEditBean bean = getBulkEditBean(); // Reset the selection as new selection is being made bean.resetWorkflowTransitionSelection(); for(Map.Entry<String, String[]> entry : params.entrySet()) { if(entry.getKey().startsWith("wftransition")) { bean.addWorkflowTransition(decodeWorkflowTransitionKey(entry.getValue()[0])); selectionMade = true; } } }
4. In BulkWorkflowTransition.finishWizard() add
protected String finishWizard() throws Exception { final String result; final BulkEditBean bean = getBulkEditBean(); if(bean.hasAnotherWorkflowTransition()) { result = getRedirect("BulkWorkflowTransitionDetailsValidation.jspa?recycle=" + true); } else { clearBulkEditBean(); result=getRedirect("IssueNavigator.jspa"); } return result;

public void addWorkflowTransition(WorkflowTransitionKey transition) {

}
}
public boolean hasAnotherWorkflowTransition() {

bean.resetWorkflowTransitionSelection();
for (Map.Entry< String , String []> entry : params.entrySet()) {
if (entry.getKey().startsWith( "wftransition" )) {
bean.addWorkflowTransition(decodeWorkflowTransitionKey(entry.getValue()[0]));
selectionMade = true ;
}
}
}

protected String finishWizard() throws Exception {
final String result;
final BulkEditBean bean = getBulkEditBean();

result = getRedirect( "BulkWorkflowTransitionDetailsValidation.jspa?recycle=" + true );
}
else {
clearBulkEditBean();
result=getRedirect( "IssueNavigator.jspa" );
}
return result;
With approval from the mother ship, I've developed and released this improvement as a free and open source plugin.
The enhancement is a part of the HP/Palm Jira Issue Move Enhancements Plugin.
With that plugin installed, you can transition all issues in a Bulk Change set. That is, in one pass of using Bulk Workflow Transition, you can transition issues through different kinds workflows at the same time.
