I have a board where each column contains tasks that should be assigned to just one person, and as the tasks are completed, they move to a new column and have to be re-assigned to the next person. Is there a way to select multiple tasks from the board view and mass-assign (or mass re-assign) them to a team member? How do you guys deal with this, or does someone have a better system? I do this for pieces of editorial content (“needs to be edited” [assign to Lucy] “ready for client” [assign to Avery], etc etc) Thanks! Avery ---

Hi According to me, multi selecting tasks in a board is not possible. If you use a list then it’s possible. Nevertheless, you can use advanced search. Create one to filter all needed tasks in your board project , and you’ll get a list and you can multi-select from there. Advanced search is a premium feature. Julien ---

Merci Julien! I have premium, but I didn’t realize the capabilities of advanced search–so that’s what I’ll do now 🙂 ---

Thanks @LEGGO 👍 And if you hold Ctrl then you can select tasks that are not following each other. ---

Yep yep! Cmd (instead of ctrl) if using a Mac, right @Julien_RENAUD? ---
