Mass Editing Tasks
All users (except collaborators) on all account types can mass edit tasks. However, the number of mass editing options available depends on your account type.
Use mass editing in Table view to make the same changes to multiple tasks at the same time.
-
Navigate to a folder, project, or space where tasks are located and switch to Table view 1.
-
Click the “>” icon to view the tasks within them.
-
Select the tasks you want to edit by clicking the checkbox to the left of task names.
-
A toolbar 2 with various mass editing options appears on the top of the Table view.
-
Select the appropriate mass editing option from the panel.
Additionally, you can mass drag and drop tasks in Table view to:
-
Change their hierarchy (convert tasks into subtasks and vice versa).
-
Change their position in Table view.
-
Change their status (when tasks are sorted by status).
-
Change their importance (when tasks are sorted by importance).

If you're using fixed and flexible workflows you might not be able to perform a mass status change. When you select multiple tasks with different workflows and at least one of them has locked status transitions, you won't see the option to change the status in the mass edit panel.
