Bulk updating tickets
The maximum number of tickets you can update at one time is 100 tickets. You cannot bulk update closed tickets. You can bulk update most of the same properties as an individual ticket, including ticket status, fields, subject, and comments.
For information about how specifying a default Twitter account affects bulk ticket updates, read about theMake this the default account settingdescribed inSetting up your Twitter channel.
To update multiple tickets in a view
- Open one of your views and select the tickets you want to update.
You can pick and choose the tickets you want to update or select the entire list by clicking the check box at the top left of the view.
When you select one or more tickets in a view, a toolbar appears at the bottom of the list.

To help with accessibility, you can use keyboard navigation to select toolbar menu items and apply formatting before submitting the comment.
You can also apply a macro to all the tickets by selecting it from theApply Macromenu. If you apply a macro that includesattachmentsto ticket comments, the attachments will not be included in the bulk update.
Note:If you bulk update tickets by applying a macro that uses dynamic content or placeholders in the ticket subject, then the updated tickets' subjects will be saved with the bracketed version of the subject. For example,{{ticket.created.at}}may display in the subject instead ofMarch 2, 2023.Most active ticket fields (includingsystem fields,custom ticket fields, andconditional ticket fields) display in the Edit tickets dialog box during a bulk update, regardless of the ticket forms applied to the selected tickets. However, the bulk editor doesn't supportCC, followers, or @mentions.
For example, if you attempt to @mention someone from the bulk editor, the text in the comment remains plain text, and the person isn't CCed on the ticket. There's also no visible fields for CCs or followers in the bulk editor. You also can't use the bulk editor to apply macros that have an action to add a CC. The CC will not be added if the macro is applied this way.

Hi there,
When trying to bulk assign from one form to another, not all form names appear in the list - do we have a setting wrong?
Cotton On (Online Customer Service)
There is a check box in each form setup to associate to specific (or all) brands. Can you check that for a form you're trying to find?
Thank you!
Hey there,
When bulk editing a custom ticket field, I don't see an option to leave said custom field blank as it is possible when editing one single ticket. Am I missing something or is it really not possible? Any workaround suggestion?
Editing a single ticket:
Bulk edit:
This is currently expected for the Support ticket bulk update and the "-" option is only available for Dropdown fields. The only option that I can think of for other field is perform the update viaUpdate Many Tickets API.
HiCarolline
How about "- Reset -" in the list above?
HiPeter Hochstrasser
I tried to use it, but it seems it only resets to the original value. For example, if I have multiple tickets each one with its own value, and I accidentaly change the value to X while bulk editing, if I hit "reset" this change is disregarded and all of the tickets keep the original value.
Dane不确定我是否理解。这些例子我给基于“增大化现实”技术e drop-down fields. The problem is with bulk editing (when editing a single ticket, I can clear the custom field just fine)
By the way - the workaround I could think of was setting up a trigger that fires when updating the ticket and including a specific tag. There's an option to clear the value of a specific custom field as an action for the trigger.
Is there a way to restrict permissions on bulk-editing tickets (like with merging tickets), so only agents with certain permission sets are able to bulk-edit tickets?
Thank you for your Feedback.
A function to restrict the bulk editing for Agent is unfortunately currently not possible.
我一天大部分删除200张门票。今天这需要me a few clicks using the bulk delete app. Now I will have to delete them 30 at a time? Is that correct?
HiKelly Schmiedelerwelcome to our Community!
The in-product function for updating tickets allows you to delete a maximum of 100 tickets at a time :)
What is the workaround or fix for this?
We just can not "not" have this option. We need this working.
However, the bulk editor doesn't supportCC, followers, or @mentions.
For example, if you attempt to @mention someone from the bulk editor, the text in the comment remains plain text, and the person isn't CCed on the ticket. There's also no visible fields for CCs or followers in the bulk editor. You also can't use the bulk editor to apply macros that have an action to add a CC. The CC will not be added if the macro is applied this way.
Hi @Bharath Bhushan
Zendesk rewards the flexible and ingenious. In your use case, adding a tag works. Create your macro as a trigger that acts upon finding the tag set by its triggering macro... I know, I know - as we say in German, backward through the chest right into the eye - but that's Zendesk.
Cheers
Peter
Thank youPeter Hochstrasser, I unfortunately dont have the access to create a trigger and would have to reach out to admin team who is not in favor of creating multiple triggers. Is there any other workaround for this?
HiBharath Bhushan M S,
Perhaps we can further discuss your problem via ticket. I will be sending you an email where we can continue working together. Kindly check your inbox for updates. Thanks!
Hello,
We've recently encountered an issue where the bulk management checkbox has disappeared for one of our admin colleagues. It's worth noting that we both hold admin permissions and are viewing the same ticket view.
While I still have the ability to manage tickets in bulk, my colleague no longer sees this option. This change occurred quite recently on the colleague side.
We have already ensured that our admin permissions and view conditions are consistent. Is there any specific setting or configuration that could have caused this option to disappear for my colleague?
Your assistance in resolving this matter would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.
Hi Nikita
Did your colleague try to
- use another browser
- use a private tab or window?
If he does and still has the same problem, can you let him log into Zendesk on your machine?
I‘m trying to establish if the problem is with his account serverside, or if it is rather a cookie constellation or a browser specific problem that causes this.
Hi!
We have identified the reason behind the disappearance of the 'Managing tickets in bulk' option in Zendesk. It appears that our custom software, which is used for quality checks and ticket tagging, is causing this issue. This software functions as a browser extension and is integrated with our website. It interacts with Zendesk and seems to be blocking the 'Managing tickets in bulk' option. We will address this issue on our end.
谢谢你或你的时间looking into this!
I am working on a client requirement where they don't want their agent to close ticket in bulk, Is there any way to hide the bulk edit option ?
Hi Salokya,
I'm afraid that the ability to edit tickets in bulk is not something that can be edited. This is a universal ability that is hard-coded into the system, and it is not linked to a specific setting or Role. If an agent has access to edit a number of tickets, they can modify them in bulk.
Hope this helps.
Our team would also like to remove the bulk edit option - there are too many things that can be changed that shouldn't be
