Add ability to mass enable 'Use features estimates' in reports

Another weekly activity we have includes enabling the 'Use features estimates' in reports that gather our newly created Epics. Ideally we'd be able to set this option upon creation of a new Epic but that is not possible yet.

If we are able to mass enable this using bulk edit in reports, it would be a tremendous time-saver while ensuring our reports are signifcantly more accurate by bubbling up tracked progress.

    Thanks for the reply, Alex. Can you please add a separate idea for that solution? I imagine we would implement those separately from what I have mocked up above.

    Thanks for the update Nathaniel. Just to be clear that our use case would be covered. This change would allow us to set a default Estimate association on record creation. What we currently most need is that when we create a new Feature level item that by default Progress tracking is enabled and it's set to pull from child Requirements w/o any manual interaction. As I've mentioned in my earlier comment, while this might take a bit of time to implement the feature of being able to view the Estimate association in reports (see whether the "Use requirement estimates" checkbox on our features is enabled or not is quite critical short term. Should we spin this off into a separate idea? Thanks

    I'm happy to share that we are working on an enhancement that should make this experience a bit better. You will soon be able to set the default estimation association for both epics and features. This will only impact epics/features created after you update this setting, but it should help prevent the need for the bulk update idea you described.

    We are in active development of this update and hope to have it out in the next month.

    While the mass edit option might take a while to implement ability to pull this data as a separate column in the report would be a HUGE step forward. We have a need on a weekly basis to assure whether this is selected or not across hundreds of Features, since this field cannot be pulled into reports we're unable to review in mass and are forced to look at items 1 by 1.
