I have a requirement where I need to identify all the issue keys that have been moved from one project to another in Jira. Is there any Jira REST API that can help retrieve this information?

Alternatively, if there's no direct API, could you please suggest an approach to track or extract the list of issues that have been moved between projects?

Hi @Ashwini Mate  Welcome to Atlassian Community!

Using Changelog API only you can issue history and get the previous issue key of an issue : https://developer.atlassian.com/cloud/jira/platform/rest/v2/api-group-issues/#api-rest-api-2-issue-issueidorkey-changelog-get

 

For future, you can create an automation rule to store previous project and issue key in a custom field.

Smart value to capture old issue key : {{#changelog.Key}}{{fromString}}{{/}}
