# Apply one set of field changes to up to 100 issues

`PATCH /api/workspaces/{workspaceId}/issues/batch`

## Request

- Base URL: `https://hiveship.app/api`
- URL: `https://hiveship.app/api/api/workspaces/{workspaceId}/issues/batch`
- Auth: one of:
  - `apiToken` (a scheme the document does not define)
  - HTTP bearer
  - API key in cookie `hiveship_access`

Replaces the per-issue fan-out bulk actions used to require. Accepts a SUBSET of the update fields — title/description are per-issue prose and are deliberately not settable in bulk. Events are not coalesced: N issues changed, so automations and webhooks still see N events.

## Path parameters

- `workspaceId` string, required

## Request body

- object
  - `issueIds` string[], required
  - `update` object, required
    - `status` string
    - `priority` 'URGENT' | 'HIGH' | 'MEDIUM' | 'LOW' | 'NONE'
    - `assigneeId` string, cuid, nullable
    - `reviewerId` string, cuid, nullable
    - `sprintId` string, cuid, nullable
    - `dueDate` string, date-time, nullable
    - `labelIds` string[]
