    • 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.

      Sometimes as part of project management one needs to introduce inte rmidiate, previously unplanned-for releases, or otherwise perform actions that affect many issues at one time.

      The "bulk change" feature is very useful in those circumnstances, but having everyone involved receive an e-mail notification per issue changed is NOT helpfult.

      Please make bulk changes send a single e-mail notification that starts with information saying that a bulk change was performed.

            Couldn't we have an option to set the checkbox to "NO" emails as a default setting instead if it being checked, forcing people to remember to uncheck the box for each bulk update

            Sending out email notifications per issue when a bulk change is done is irritating for the receiver and spams up the whole inbox with 100s of emails. In fact, some of the important changes might also be missed out. So consolidating and sending out that information per watcher is the best way I believe.

            Sending too many emails could bring additionnal problems to the SMTP server which handles them.
            We had to confugure the SMTP rules as we were facing Too many connection issues for huge bulk changes.
            And I completely agree with the description. Receiving so many emails for one bulk change is not helpful as a user.

            The JDigest Plugin now provides Jira Notification Digesting, meaning for bulk issue changes, potentially only one email would be generated...

            I really like the suggestion notification bundles (every ## hours, daily, weekly, etc.). This would solve some other problems related to notification.

            I would prefer a new email template type for bulk updates. So when I change 14 issues from Fix For Version 2.1 to 2.1.1, my beta testers don't get 14 issues but instead just one email with the 14 issue numbers and titles and the describe of what was changed.

            Both of these issues have to do with bulk edit notifications

            Options for daily or "every n hours" notification bundles would also work,
