Redmine

I know I am already +1 on this but I have just hit a wall on this issue and would like to bump it again. My story is this:

We use a variation (bastard stepchild perhaps) of the Scrum methodology which requires everyone to be working on a set of tasks assigned by monthly 'sprint'. We have just closed the August sprints and are now planning the September sprints - as a first step I need to move all uncompleted tasks that were in progress in August to September.

We track the Sprint with a global custom field, because developers work across multiple projects and I need a unified field to show for example all closed tasks for a given sprint for a given developer. Target Version does not work here because it is specific to a single project.

We are really relying on RedMine more and more to run our business, but today I go to roll over everyone's open tasks to September and I realise that I must edit them one by one (111 of them) which on the slow network we enjoy in Indonesia will take me over half a day.

PLEASE add custom (global) fields to the bulk edit form?

We use Redmine in the same way as Ewan above. Multiple users have asked me why they cannot bulk edit the sprint custom field.

Have uploaded a patch for this: #2560

I think this issue is closed by this patch: Patch #2560

I spent sometime reading this closed issue until I realised that it was only for issue specific custom fields.

The rest: project level custom fields, version level custom fields... can't be bulk edited even if not explicity stated.
