Is there a limitation about migrating issues from workflows?

[Jason Liu]

I need to add a new workflow to a workflow scheme. There should be about more than 12000 issues need to be changed of status. Is the Jira automation can migrate this automatically? Is there a limit about migrating issues from workflow at one time?

Hi Jason,

If I may ask, do you mean when you change the workflow associated to a specific issue type, you would like to know if all issues associated with the old workflow have a limit of some sorts?

If so, the answer is no. When you change a workflow over, all issues would be moved over to the correctly mapped statuses on the new workflow. I would however ensure that I have enough resource on the server as this could be quite system intensive (not only the change but an index would need to run against the database).

Other than these, I am personally not aware of any limitations of such.

Yes, that's what I'm asking. Thank you so much. I think I got the answer.

Hello @Jason Liu 

Jira Automation has limitations in terms of the number of issues that can be updated in a single execution and in terms of execution duration.

As a workaround, you can create a copy of the Automation rule which works for you and then execute it multiple times.

Please feel free to share, if you have any further queries.

Kindly accept the answer if this helps.
