Bulk Comments for Jira
Compose a comment once and post it to up to 25 Jira issues at once, or replicate an existing comment — images, videos and files included — across many tickets.
Overview
Bulk Comments for Jira is an Atlassian Forge app installed directly inside Jira Cloud. It lets you compose a rich-text comment once and post it to up to 25 issues at once, or replicate an existing comment — including its images, videos and file attachments — onto multiple tickets exactly as-is.
No context switching: Everything happens inside Jira. There's no external server in the data path for Compose or Replicate — comments and media move directly between Jira tickets through Atlassian's own infrastructure.
Compose
Write a new rich-text comment — bold, lists, @mentions — and post it to up to 25 Jira issues in one action.
Replicate
Paste the link to an existing comment and copy it exactly as-is onto other tickets. Images, videos and file attachments are copied automatically.
Three Entry Points
Open the app from the global page in the left sidebar, the "Bulk Comments for Jira" tab in any issue's Activity panel, or the "Bulk Comment" option in an issue's ••• actions menu. The latter two auto-select that ticket's most recent comment for a fast copy.
| 25 Issues per action | Compose or Replicate to up to 25 tickets at once |
| 3 Entry points | Global page, issue Activity tab, or issue actions menu |
| 0 External servers | Built on Atlassian Forge — data stays inside your Jira instance |
Full Guide
Installing the App
- Go to the Atlassian Marketplace and search for Bulk Comments for Jira.
- Click Get it now and select your Jira Cloud site.
- Accept the required permissions: read & write Jira work items, read Jira user profiles.
- Once installed, find Bulk Comments for Jira in the left-side Apps menu, or look for it on any issue's Activity panel and ••• actions menu.
Compose Mode
Write a new comment with rich-text formatting — bold, italics, lists, and @mentions — and choose the issues to post it to. The comment is posted individually to each selected ticket.

Replicate Mode
Instead of writing something new, Replicate mode copies a comment that already exists — including any images, videos and file attachments on it — onto other tickets exactly as-is. The Source step walks you through it in three parts:
- Open the ticket & copy the link — Go to the Jira issue, hover over the comment, then click the link icon next to the author's name to copy its link.

- Check it's a valid comment link — A comment link ends in
?focusedCommentId=…— that's the part that points to the exact comment (for example,https://your-site.atlassian.net/browse/KAN-6?focusedCommentId=10842). A plain issue link without that parameter won't work. - Paste it below — Paste the link into the field, then continue on to pick your recipients and send.
Selecting Tickets
Search by keyword or issue key, filter by project, or use advanced JQL to build a precise target list. Select up to 25 tickets, then send. Per-ticket progress is tracked live, and any failures can be retried in one click.

Jumping In From an Issue
You don't need to start from the global page. Open any issue's ••• actions menu and choose Bulk Comment, or switch to the Bulk Comments for Jira tab in the issue's Activity panel — both auto-select that ticket's most recent comment so you can jump straight into Replicate mode.
