The Batch Assignment plugin allows you to add to batches all assets in your project.
You can tweak how the plugin assigns assets to batches from its configuration. By default, it will assign the first 100 tasks to a batch named Batch-01, then the second 100 to Batch-02, and so on. Batch size, name, and more can be tweaked from plugin settings.
Adding the plugin to your organization will allow you, with one click, to assign to batches all assets in your project according to settings you set when running the plugin.
The plugin will process all assets in your project.
Currently, there is no way to only select specific assets as targets for the plugin.
