Bulk edit floods every watcher’s inbox with notifications
A single bulk edit can fire hundreds of near-identical emails to watchers and assignees.
The problem
When you bulk-edit a batch of issues, Jira sends a separate notification for every issue to every watcher. Editing 200 issues can mean thousands of emails in minutes.
Who runs into this
Admins doing clean-ups and migrations, leads re-assigning work in bulk, and every watcher on the receiving end.
How Patcher fixes it
Patcher batches bulk-edit notifications into a single digest per recipient. People still learn what changed — without the inbox avalanche.
