Move issue to different project

[Vishal]

Hi Guys,

I would like to move a specific issue type from project A to project B automatically on a transition In progress to Ready.

Is it something which is possible to do automatically ?

Thanks!

No, there's no way to automate moving issues.   Even with the advanced scripting or automation apps, it's really really hard.

This is because moving issues between projects (or even issue types) is not a simple procedure. 

All the configuration is determined by the project and issue type, so when you move, you have to check that the data on the issue is compatible with the new settings, and then migrate it all over if it is (or the humans make it compatible during the move process)

It's absolutely never supposed to be done in a workflow - if you think you need to move an issue as part of a process, then you either have a broken process, or you've set up Jira in a way that does not match your process.

Issue moves should only happen when you are housekeeping, re-organising (including preparing for a migration), or when someone genuinely makes a mistake when choosing which project to create it in.

Nope, you cannot automate moving between projects without some advanced scripting (using the API - I don't have the API experience to explain how to do it though). 

You *can* create a copy of a ticket in the new project, however, using jira automation.
