Apply Commands to Issues

Last modified: 09 October 2024

The Apply Command dialog lets you apply a collection of updates to an issue in a single operation. Instead of updating the value for a single field or attribute using the mouse, you can provide instructions for multiple changes and apply them all at once.

The Apply Command dialog.

Each command consists of a space-delimited keyword-value pair. For example:

  • To assign the selected issue or a set of issues to yourself, enter for me.

  • To assign issues to yourself and change their state to In progress, enter for me state in progress.

As soon as you start typing, YouTrack displays a completion list with matching keywords or values. For link commands that reference other issues, YouTrack supports full-text search. This feature lets you filter the list of issues to match your search criteria without having to specify the exact issue ID. For example, you can enter duplicates toolbar to show only issues that contain the word "toolbar" and select an issue from the list.
