Can I Perform Actions in Bulk?

A few scripts for common use-cases are available which can help you perform actions in bulk. Feel free to create PRs to add other use-cases.

Script	Template
Create Story Script	Create Story Template
Create Subtask Script	Create Subtask Template
Add Issue to Epic Script	Add Issue to Epic Template
Add Same Label to Multiple Issues Script	Add Same Label to Multiple Issues Template
Add Multiple Labels to Single Issue Script	Add Multiple Labels to Single Issue Template
Add Distinct (Single) Labels to Multiple Issues Script	Add Distinct (Single) Labels to Multiple Issues Template

A sample aliases file is provided here. To test them out run source sample/source_aliases.sh in terminal. To load this by default every time, add that command to your $HOME/.zshrc or $HOME/.bashrc file. Make sure to use the full path to the file.

Is there a test instance where I can try these scripts out?

If you want to test the scripts in a demo environment before running it against your main JIRA board, you can setup your own local JIRA instance using Docker within minutes. (You'll need to activate a JIRA trial but don't worry once you run the container, JIRA will guide you through.)
