description: Bulk transition multiple Jira issues with a JQL filter through the jirac CLI

---

Bulk transition multiple Jira issues using `jirac`.

Steps:

1. Check that `jirac` is available by running `jirac --version`. If it is missing, tell the user to install it with `cargo install jira-commands`.

2. Extract from the user's request:

- project key when relevant

- target status

- JQL filter, or enough context to build one

- whether the user wants to skip confirmation

3. If no JQL is provided, build one from the request, for example `project = PROJ AND status = "To Do"`.

- 4. Run `jirac issue bulk-transition -p <PROJECT> -q '<JQL>' -t '<STATUS>' [--force]`.

+ 4. Run `jirac issue bulk-transition --jql '<JQL>' --to '<STATUS>' [--force]`.

5. Make it clear how many issues are affected and whether confirmation is still required.

Examples:

- - "transition all To Do issues in PROJ to In Progress" → `jirac issue bulk-transition -p PROJ -q 'project = PROJ AND status = "To Do"' -t 'In Progress'`

- - "close all done issues in PROJ without asking" → `jirac issue bulk-transition -p PROJ -q 'project = PROJ AND status = Done' -t 'Closed' --force`

+ - "transition all To Do issues in PROJ to In Progress" → `jirac issue bulk-transition --jql 'project = PROJ AND status = "To Do"' --to 'In Progress'`

+ - "close all done issues in PROJ without asking" → `jirac issue bulk-transition --jql 'project = PROJ AND status = Done' --to 'Closed' --force`

+ - "move my open sprint issues to Done" → `jirac issue bulk-transition --jql 'assignee = currentUser() AND sprint = openSprints()' --to Done`
