Create initiatives from labels and custom fields

You can now more easily create initiatives by using issue filters to add multiple issues at once. Instead of manually selecting individual epics, stories, or tasks, you can:

  • Filter by labels, projects, or custom fields.
  • Quickly gather all related tasks into a single initiative.
  • Save time and reduce overhead when managing large sets of issues.

This update makes it faster to organize related work, so you can keep your projects moving. Try it out by navigating to initiatives and clicking add initiative.
