Moving an issue from one project to another

[vishal03kadam]

When we move an issue from one project to another, how can I edit the custom filed while moving

Hi @vishal03kadam , Welcome to the community. 

when you are moving and issue from one project to another without changing issue type, move wizard will only prompted to enter the values for required custom fields in the target project.

you can always update custom fields after or before moving if it is not a project specific field.  

For your reference: Moving an issue (cloud version)

Sorry @vishal03kadam, 

According to below quote from the document I shared, It is not possible to fulfill your requirement in native JIRA 

You will only be prompted to enter the values for required custom fields in the target project that are missing values. If the custom fields of your original project also exist in your target project, and these custom fields are not required in the target project, you may need to set values for them, to move the issue successfully. If you wish to change the existing values for other fields on your issue, you can do this after the move is complete.

Ok I have a similar problem.  I am moving the issue to a new project.  Changing from a Task in one project to a Routine Release in another.  I have the same required field in both (Account).  When the Account field (single select from drop down) is filled out in the Task and I move it to the other project - the account field gets cleared out.   What am I missing? Thanks!

I suspect the Account field has different contexts, so the value in one project may not be valid in another.

Thanks, Yogesh but I am not looking for a Bulk change. I just want to retain the default value of a custom field whenever it moved.

Hi Alana, 

Thanks for your reply, but my problem statement is: 

I want to move an issue from Project A to Project B. The issue in project A has custom field Reviewed which has two options (Yes/No). If the reviewed option has value set as Yes, then when it is moved to Project B the reviewed value should be set back to NO. 

Please note that the default value for a Reviewed custom field is No. I want to retain this default value when an issue is moved from any project to any. 

Hope I have cleared my requirement. 

Thanks,

HI @vishal03kadam

Welcome, to the community!

You can do like this first run the JQL that you want to move the issues to another project and do the Bulk change and select the Move issues operation.

Once you moved the issue from one project to another, then select those moved issues and do the bulk change again and select the Edit issue operation and edit the field that you want to Edit.

For doing all this task you should have Bulk change permission and move, edit issue permission for that specific project.
