TL;DR: Bulk assign lets you select multiple tasks with Shift+Click or Ctrl+Click and assign them to a teammate in one action. Combine with tags, due dates, and custom fields for fast workload balancing at the start of every sprint.
Overview
Multi-Select lets you select multiple tasks at once and perform bulk actions — assign, move, delete, duplicate, or change status — all in a single operation. This is a power-user feature that saves time when managing large projects.
How to Bulk-Assign Tasks
- Left-click and hold to select the first item in a series.
- Drag the mouse cursor up or down to select additional items.
- Click the 👤 Assign icon in the Multi-Select Toolbar that appears.
- Choose one or more project members from the dropdown.
💡 Tip: You can also hold Shift and click to select a range of tasks, or hold Ctrl/Cmd and click to select individual tasks.
Multi-Select Toolbar Actions
When you select multiple tasks, a toolbar appears with these bulk actions:
| Action | Description |
|---|---|
| 👤 Assign | Assign all selected tasks to a member |
| 📁 Move | Move tasks to another project or section |
| 🗑️ Delete | Delete all selected tasks |
| 📋 Duplicate | Create copies of selected tasks |
| ✅ Complete | Mark all selected tasks as done |
| 📅 Due Date | Set a due date for all selected tasks |
Tips
- Bulk assign works in List, Board, and Table views.
- Combine with Custom Fields to tag multiple tasks at once.
- Use Automations to auto-assign tasks based on triggers instead of doing it manually.
- After bulk-assigning, switch to Table view to verify assignments at a glance — the assignee column makes it easy to spot any tasks you missed.
