Hi @Gena Welk, Amelie from Appfire here!

Another option, if you consider third-party add-ons (or already have them installed in your instance), could be to bulk-archive with tools like Jira CLI or Power Scripts.

Here's a recent example (+ solution), where another community member bulk-archived issues with Jira CLI: https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Jira-Software-questions/What-is-the-command-to-use-to-archive-all-our-released-versions/qaq-p/1391383

ALWAYS with the "pay to play" responses. 

GOD FORBID someone would be able to bulk archive work items in 2025 WITHOUT having to pay for yet ANOTHER add-on to make Atlassian usable!
