How to use the new Jira Bulk Change experience with Rich Filters for Jira Dashboards

Summary:
This article explains how to access the "New version" of the Jira Bulk Change tool directly from Rich Filters gadgets on a dashboard. Using this method allows users to bypass the legacy bulk change interface and leverage the improved Jira Cloud bulk editing experience.

When using the bulk change button within Rich Filters, users may be directed to the legacy bulk change interface. This often requires additional clicks to switch to the "new version" of the bulk change app, which offers a better user experience and direct field updates. Users want a way to access the new bulk change experience by default or with fewer steps.

The default bulk change action triggered from within certain gadget views may link to the standard (legacy) Jira bulk change wizard. However, Jira Cloud’s "new version" of bulk change is natively integrated into the Issue Navigator list view.

To use the new bulk change experience directly:

1. Locate the Rich Filter gadget on your dashboard.

2. Instead of using the bulk change button inside the gadget’s action menu (if applicable), click on the number of issues (total count) displayed at the bottom of the gadget.

   • Note: This link typically appears at the bottom right or left of the gadget, showing the total result count.

3. You will be redirected to the native Jira Issue Navigator in list view, with the specific filters already applied.

4. From the Issue Navigator, you can use the native bulk edit options, which default to the "New version" of the bulk change experience in Jira Cloud.

This method ensures you land directly in the modern bulk change interface without having to toggle between versions.
