Currently (as of `8.1`), you'll need to leverage the API to bulk add/update actions. So you could fetch all rules with High Severity, then use the bulk API ([docs](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/security/current/bulk-actions-rules-api.html#bulk-actions-rules-api-update)) to patch them all with the appropriate action(s).

That said, we've started surfacing Bulk Edit Actions in the UI (currently `Index Patterns` and `Tags`) starting in 8.1 ([release notes on it](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/security/current/whats-new.html#features-8.1)), and we'll be working through the remaining fields (like actions, risk score/severity, etc) in upcoming releases.

Will there be an ability to filter on rules that do and dont have actions, thinking of when new rules are added, been able to filter all that dont have an action and push.
