Need the detailed information on each of about 100 closed stories.

[Mary Stahly]

I'm  a Jira beginner and very new to the company and we are moving from Jira on prem to Jira Cloud soon. There was a project set up with about a hundred stories in it that was set up just to get requirements from a legacy system. All the stories were closed last summer as the requirements were gathered. We now need that information and it will be part of a different project as we migrate to a new system. What's the best way to accomplish this? Clone each of them? Reopen them? Re-create under the new project? Bulk move? Reference them somehow?

Hi @Mary Stahly 

The answer to this depends on what you need them for.

If work has to be re-done on these stories then if you consider this as a new work then clone and work through these stories again.

If all you are interested is knowing that the information and the work was done at a time then referencing via issue linking would be the best way to go.

If you are redoing the work due to the assumption that the original work is inconclusive then a reopen works great.

The next steps depends on your internal definition of what has to be done and what process to follow.

 I hope this helps you come to a decision.

Cheers

Thanks @Ismael Jimoh looks like based on what I need them for, that linking will work best. We need to know what it was in the old system, but that doesn't mean that it will be recreated in the same way.
