Bulk status and tag actions
Bulk actions let you update the workflow status or tags of many issues in a single request. Instead of triaging errors one at a time, you can select a batch, mark them all fixed, or attach a tag, and Log Lens applies the change to every issue together.
What you can do
Each bulk request carries a list of issue ids and one action:
| Action | What it does | Extra fields |
|---|---|---|
status | Changes the workflow status of every issue | status, optional note |
add_tag | Attaches a tag to every issue | tag_id |
remove_tag | Removes a tag from every issue | tag_id |
Valid statuses are:
open in_progress fixed wont_fix reoccurred
How it works
Select 1 to 200 issues. Ids are de-duplicated and must be positive, so repeated or invalid ids are dropped before the count is checked. A note may accompany a status change but cannot exceed 10,000 characters.
The whole batch runs inside a single database transaction. If anything fails partway through, every change is rolled back, so you never end up with half a batch applied.
Per-issue history
A status action records history for each issue individually. Every issue gets its own entry capturing the status it moved from, the status it moved to, and the note. The issue's status_updated_at timestamp is refreshed at the same time. This means bulk changes are fully auditable per issue, exactly like single-issue changes.
Edge cases to know
- Missing issues (status). Ids are checked one by one as the batch runs. If any id does not exist in the current application, the whole transaction is rolled back and nothing changes.
- Missing issues or tag (tags). The tag must exist, and all selected issues are verified up front. If the tag is unknown or any issue is missing, the request fails before any change is made.
- Duplicate tags.
add_tagis idempotent: re-tagging an issue that already carries the tag simply re-marks the tag source asmanualrather than erroring. - Blank notes. A blank note is stored as empty (no note), not as blank text.
A successful response reports the action, the affected ids, and the number updated.
