Table Grid Editor does not support Bulk Edit

⚠️ Limitation

Table Grid Editor (TGE) does not support Jira's Bulk Edit operation.

When performing a Bulk Edit on multiple issues containing a TGE grid field, only one issue is updated - the remaining issues are unchanged.

This is an architectural limitation, not a bug. TGE uses a per-user Hibernate session with a temporary table for each edit operation, which only supports single-issue editing. Processing multiple issues simultaneously within a single bulk operation is not possible with this design.

Affected versions: All versions of Table Grid Editor (Server / Data Center).

💡 Alternative

If your workflow requires bulk edit support for grid fields, we recommend migrating to Table Grid Next Generation (TGNG) to support broader Jira operations.
