How many issues can I process at once with this skill?

The skill is optimized for any volume. It handles small sets (5-10) instantly and supports massive operations of 500+ issues using batching and checkpoints to ensure reliability.

Is bulk deletion safe to use?

While bulk deletion is irreversible, the skill enforces safety by requiring a --dry-run preview and user confirmation to prevent accidental data loss.

How do I target specific issues for bulk actions?

You can target issues by providing a comma-separated list of issue keys or by using powerful JQL (Jira Query Language) strings for dynamic filtering.

Do I need special Jira permissions to use these features?

You need the standard Jira API permissions associated with the actions you are performing, such as 'Transition Issues' or 'Delete Issues'.

Can I resume a failed or interrupted bulk operation?

Yes, for transitions, the --enable-checkpoint and --resume options allow you to pick up exactly where an operation left off if the network or process is interrupted.
