How do you move one project to another?

[John Sanchez Sr]

Hello team

My new director decided that Jira was to messy and he unknowing created a project with associated stories and epics and told the team to book time it.  Well now upper management told him it has to be moved under another project.  How do I either move it or do I clone it.  I don't want to manually re create this effort.

Help.  An ideas?

Hi @John Sanchez Sr ,

first of all you need to check if the target project has the same issue type scheme, screen scheme and workflow scheme as the source project (project containing the issues).

After doing that you should move desired issues from project source A to project target B through the following steps :

• Go to the Advanced search view and search for issues to move
• Select the options button (3 dots in top-right corner) > Bulk Change...
• Select the issues you'd like to perform the bulk operation on, and select Next.
• Select Move Issues, and select Next.

Hope this helps,

Fabio

Hi @John Sanchez Sr,

If you want to make sure that no data get lost, you can also bulk clone and move the issues using our Marketplace app Deep Clone for Jira. 

Doing that, the original issues and all of their data would remain in the source project.

Hi @John Sanchez Sr 

You can just move all of the created issues from the new project to the correct one. You can use the bulk move feature to move all those issues at once. You can read about it here: https://support.atlassian.com/jira-work-management/docs/edit-multiple-issues-at-the-same-time/#Editingmultipleissuesatthesametime-moveBulkmoveissues

Best,
