Has anyone found a user friendly and quick way to move a large number of EPICS from one project to another along with its associated User Stories and the User Story subtasks?

Hi Mike,

To move the full issue hierarchy in one go, the best way I have found to do this is to use the following JQL to locate the issues you are looking for:

"Epic Name" = EPIC_NAME_HERE OR "Epic Link" = ISSUE_KEY_OF_EPIC

This will give you a list of the Epic and all standard issuetypes in the epic, Noting it does not display the subtasks in the query results but they will be taken care of in the next portion.

Next do a Bulk Move, during the move select the destination project for the Epic and Standard issue types at step 2, then on step three it will ask you to update the subtasks of the parent issues with the same project move operation.

Complete the bulk move by filling in any additional fields or status change requirements it takes to change the project and the full issue hierarchy will be set to the new project and you should be all set.

Regards,
Earl
