Bug fixes

  • Using the Move issues post function on individual sub-tasks (without moving the parent) resulting resulted in incompatible parent-child relationships. Moving individual sub-tasks is currently not available (warning)

  • Custom fields could be set to values not available/valid in their respective field context using the Move issues post function
  • Setting the "Sprint ID" to a value equal or greater than 1000 produced an error
  • Incorrect error messages were logged when detecting deleted custom fields
