Use Bulk Action to apply the same operation to selected Test Cases from a Jira work item or the Vansah Board. Review the selected cases and versions first, then choose the operation you need.
Open Bulk Action
Open the Vansah Test Case grid in the work item, repository, folder, or plan you want to manage.
Select the case checkboxes. Review the count, keys, and versions, including cases selected on other pages.
Open the grid’s More menu and select Bulk Action.
Choose an available action. Actions can be disabled by permissions or the current context.
Edit case properties
Choose Edit Properties and select Next.
Check only the properties you want to change and select their new values.
If the selection contains cases from different Jira spaces, review each space’s section and choose values valid for that space.
Review the confirmation and any reset options, then select Update.
Refresh the grid and check the saved values.
Property | What it changes |
Test Case Type | The case’s classification. Choose from the types configured for its Jira space. |
Test Case Status | A preparation or maintenance status such as Draft or Active. |
Priority | The case’s priority. |
Components and labels | The selected associations for the case version. |
Linked work items | The Jira work items associated with the cases. |
Custom fields | The supported configured fields offered in the dialog. |
Type, status, components, and supported custom-field choices can differ between Jira spaces. Expand each relevant space section rather than assuming that one value applies everywhere.
Reset options replace existing labels, components, or linked work items with the selected values. Leave reset unchecked to add the selected values while retaining existing associations.
Assign or unassign a tester
Choose Edit Assignee and select Next.
Search for and select the person, or choose Unassigned to remove the assignment.
Select Update and verify the assignee in the current work item, folder, or plan context.
A case can have different assignments in different testing contexts. See Assign Test Cases.
Other bulk actions
Action | Use it when |
Edit Test Runs | You need to change existing run properties or results. Review the run update guide first because a result change also affects recorded steps. |
Edit Status | You need to Block or Unblock cases. Review the scope and affected plans; see Block and Unblock Test Cases. |
Clone Cases | You need separate copies of the selected cases. Choose Clone Cases, then Next, and review the clone options. |
Unlink Cases | You want to remove the selected links from the current Jira work item while keeping the cases. Review and confirm Unlink. |
Delete Test Cases | You intend to delete the case records, affecting their reuse and reporting. Review the confirmation before deleting. |
Edit Status controls blocking. To change a named status such as Draft or Active, use Edit Properties → Test Case Status.
Verify changes before retrying
Wait for the operation to finish, then refresh and inspect representative cases. If an error appears, check what was saved before repeating the action; bulk operations can complete some changes before a later error.
