Migrating one Jira project to another

[Francis Mullett]

I have created a project on the account below:

https://admxxc.atlassian.net/jira/software/c/projects/

However, I would like to move the whole thing to a new account :

https://admirxx.atlassian.net/jira/software/projects/AUT/boards/

Is this possible?

Hello @Francis Mullett ,

Welcome to the community!

You can try the following steps maybe it resolve your issue

1. Use the Jira Backup Manager to create and export a backup of your Jira Cloud site. Make sure to include attachments in the export.
2. Import the backup to your new cloud site.
3. Delete any unwanted projects.
4. Disable any unwanted users by removing them from all groups and application access.

Thanks & Regards,

Hey @Francis Mullett

Additionally to @Zulfiqar Bin Zafar answer, I would like to mention that any existing project will be deleted from the "Landing site" when you restore a backup from another site, so be conscious of this information if you have any existing projects on https://admirxx.atlassian.net/.

If that's the case, maybe the CSV import is a better option for you.

If you only need/want one project consider a manual approach:

• create the project in target instance
• Export all issues to a CSV file
• Import the CSV into the target instance project - create-issues-using-the-csv-importer 

if you are open to addon solutions check the Marketplace for apps like - deep-clone-for-jira . Note I have not used the aforementioned app but it seems popular in the Community. Personally I would likely go this route as I could cancel the app once complete. You might be able to complete within the trial period. ;)

Hi @Francis Mullett 

In Jira Premium Account, you have a Cloud Migration feature where you can migrate projects from one instance to another. Try this one and it's easy.

Raise the ticket with the support team if you don't see one in the System settings

Thanks,
