You can't move an issue in a post-function - the issue will go into a completely broken state because you are altering structural data about it while it is being changed. 

Move your code to somewhere where the issue is not in a state of flux.

Also, try not doing this.  Moving an issue is not a trivial thing - your code should be checking all the data is compatible for the source and target configurations and amending it when it is not.

I would actually fix your process here, rather than try to do something complex and pointless.  Moving an issue with code is indicative of a poorly designed process or configuration, and moving issues should only really be done when you are doing one-off things - housekeeping or genuine "I created this in the wrong project".

The best fix for your case here is probably to remove the "mandat" issue type from the source project so that your users can't create the wrong type in there.
