# Test Case Bulk Actions

> Select multiple test cases to edit, print, export, link, deprecate, or delete them in one action, or select suites to delete them.

Bulk actions apply changes to multiple test cases or suites at once. Tick the checkboxes for the items you want, and a selection bar appears above the list with the actions available for what you picked.

## Select Test Cases

| Method | How |
| :- | :- |
| Individual | Click the checkbox next to any test case row |
| All in a suite | Open a suite and click the checkbox in the list header to select every test case in it |
| Suites | Click the checkboxes in the SUITES sidebar to select whole suites. With suites selected, the only action is **Delete** |

## Bulk Edit

Available when test cases are selected. Click **Edit** in the selection toolbar to open the Bulk Edit dialog. Only fields you set a value for are changed; leave any field as "Don't change" to preserve existing values.

### Editable fields

| Category | Fields |
| :- | :- |
| Content | Move to Suite, Description (up to 5,000 characters), Pre-conditions and Post-conditions (up to 1,000 characters each) |
| Classification | Status, Severity, Priority, Type, Layer, Behavior |
| Automation | Automation status (`Manual`, `Automated`) |
| Flags | `To Be Automated`, `Flaky`, `Muted`. Choose whether to update only the flags you pick or replace all flags |
| Tags | Comma-separated tags with 2 modes: **Add tags** (keeps existing) or **Remove tags** (removes specified) |

  **Tip**

  Use bulk edit to reassign test cases to a different suite by setting the **Move to Suite** field.
</Callout>

## Bulk Link Work Item

Available when test cases are selected. Click **Link work item** in the selection toolbar to link every selected case to 1 Jira or Linear issue.

1. Enter an **Issue key or URL** and click **Preview**. TestDino looks the key up in the connected trackers and shows the issue title. A key that exists in both Jira and Linear shows both matches; pick 1.
2. Click **Done**. The toast reports how many cases were linked and how many were already linked.

A case already linked to that same issue is reported as already linked and is not duplicated. A case linked to the Jira issue `TDV2-343` still accepts the Linear issue `TDV2-343`; they are 2 different links. Requires Jira or Linear connected under **Settings → Integrations**.

## Bulk Print

Click **Print** to generate a printable view of all selected test cases. This is useful for review meetings or offline reference.

## Bulk Export

On the Team and Enterprise plans, export the selected test cases using the **Export** option in the selection bar.

| Format | What It Includes |
| :- | :- |
| **Export JSON** | Selected test cases with full metadata, suite structure, and steps |
| **JSON with Attachments (ZIP)** | Same as JSON plus all attached files bundled into a `.zip` archive |
| **Export CSV (Legacy)** | Flat `.csv` of the selected test cases for spreadsheets and other tools |

See [Import & Export](/test-management/import-export#export) for the full format details.

## Bulk Deprecate

Click **Deprecate** in the selection toolbar to mark every selected test case as `Deprecated` status in one action. Faster than opening Bulk Edit and changing the Status field.

## Bulk Delete

Click **Delete** in the selection toolbar to remove every selected test case. The confirmation dialog shows the count of cases that will be removed. Deleted cases cannot be recovered. Deleted cases are removed from open runs; closed runs keep their results.

## Bulk Suite Delete

In the Suites view, select entire suites using the suite-level checkboxes and click **Delete**. This deletes the suite and all test cases it contains.

  **Warning**

  Deleting a suite removes all test cases inside it permanently. This cannot be undone.
