Move the results of Custom Fields

[Elif Alverson]

Hello, 

Is there a way to move the results from Custom field (SEVERITY) to Custom field (Severity) or vice versa to standardize two projects?

Custom fields are independent of each other, so no.

Without scripting, the easiest answer is to use bulk-edit.  Search for SEVERITY = 1, bulk edit the results to add Severity = 1, then repeat for 2, 3, 4, etc.  When you've copied all the data across, kill off the old field.

@Nic Brough -Adaptavist-, 

Will I able to change the Severity/SEVERITY custom field for the closed issues?

Thank you.

Good point, it might not.  It depends if the "do not allow edit" flag is set on the status.
