      We would like to submit a feature request for a future version of Zabbix on behalf of one of our customer. In our environment we frequently have to remediate several problems of the same nature at the same time, but the current Zabbix UI only lets us run a script on one problem/event per action. This limitation makes day-to-day operations slower than necessary.

      What we are asking for is the ability to select multiple problems in the Problems view and execute one of the scripts already defined in Administration → Scripts against all selected problems in a single operation. After the selection, the interface could show a confirmation step listing the affected problems/hosts and then display the result per item, so the operator can see which executions succeeded and which ones failed.

      This capability would be especially useful during mass or correlated incidents, when several hosts enter PROBLEM due to the same root cause and the remediation step is identical (for example, restarting a service, clearing a specific cache, collecting diagnostics, or triggering a custom maintenance action). Today, the operator has to open each problem individually and run the same script multiple times, which increases the number of clicks, the time to restore service, and the risk of overlooking one of the affected problems.

      Enabling script execution on multiple selected problems would align this workflow with other bulk operations already available in Zabbix, reduce operational effort for large environments, and improve the overall user experience for teams that operate the tool every day. We believe this is a small change with a high impact on usability, especially for customers who monitor a large number of hosts and often deal with repetitive corrective actions.
