Dragging & Dropping on the board

You can easily update a task’s schedule or assignee by dragging and dropping the task card on the Schedule Board. This intuitive drag-and-drop functionality helps you quickly make updates and keep your project on track.

  • Assign tasks for additional members.

  • Remove plans.

Bulk editing does not apply to Recurring tasks or projects with Jira Field Mapping
