how to bulk move issues with a portfolio parent link?

[Ken_Collins]

I am attempting to move all issues from one project to another using the Tool-->BulkChange Move operation. This moves the issues but any issue which has Parent Link (from Portfolio) gets the Parent Link cleared out. Other fields in the issue are as expected.

If I attempt to Move a single issue using the Issue Move operation then Parent Link is preserved.

Is Parent Link supported by Bulk Change operations?

Hi Ken,

Thanks for pointing this one out, and I just did a bit of testing and can confirm that this is a new bug.

It looks like the mapping is there on the portfolio side but the field value is not rendering correctly and is missing in the issue navigator.  

I created the following Bug Report to track this and get a fix in place:

• https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/JPOSERVER-2663

I was not able to come up with a workaround to correct this one yet, but we will make sure to add an update to the Bug report if we find a solution before a fix rolls out.

Regards,
Earl
