How to Bulk Approve as a delegated

Navigate the Jira's built-in search navigator and apply the desired filter
Select Tools → Bulk Change
Step 1 of 4: Choose Issues
Step 2 of 4: Choose Operation Bulk Approval
Step 3 of 4: Operation Details:
- Leave the option Send Approval Reply notification On in order to send an email notifying the Approval action for any affected issue or turn it Off to skip the email notifications
- Fill the Bulk Delegated Approval container with the delegators of the issues you want approve

Step 4 of 4: Confirmation: The Screen shows only the issues, filtered with respect the chosen ones, that await your own approval or that await your approval as a delegated from the users selected via the Bulk Delegated Approval Select Container

Notice that the Bulk approval via the Search navigator has the following limitations:

you cannot perform a bulk approval on issues where the related Approval Mapping has been set to require the Approval Comment obligatorily
you cannot perform a bulk approval as Super Approver on behalf of another user

In both cases, at step 4, these issues are excluded by the set of issues that have been chosen at step 1.
