This post function allows you to move a standard issue type to other projects, statuses or issue types.

This post function must be the last post function of a transition.

Configuration

Select the project which the issue will be moved to by selecting one of the following options:

OptionDescription

Selected projectSelect the target project from the list of available projects.
Set project manually (parser expression)

Specify the target project by an expression using the Advanced text mode. 

The expression must return a project key or project name.

Select the issue type which the issue will be moved to by selecting one of the following options:

OptionDescription

Retain the issue type

The issue type will not be updated. 

Selected issue type

Select the target issue type from the list of available issue types.
Set issue type manually (parser expression)

Specify the target issue type by an expression using the Advanced text mode. 

The expression must return an issue type name.

Select the status which the issue will be moved to by selecting one of the following options:

OptionDescription

The status will not be updated. 

Selected status

Select the target status from the list of available statuses.

Optionally define fields and target values that should be updated as part of the move operation.

Upon selecting a field that should be updated from the dropdown you will be presented with these options:

OptionDescription
AutomaticThis option is only available for the field Assignee.
Selected valueSelect a specific value from the dropdown list.
Copy field value from current issueCopy the value from a field in the current issue. Select the field you want to copy the value from.

Set field value manually (parser expression)

Select the field to copy from using an expression. 

Clear field valueClear the field value.

Write protection

By default, all other field values will be retained.

You have the following two options:

OptionDescription

Block transition and show an error message when the move operation fails

In case the move operation fails, e.g. because the specified issue type is not available in the target project, the entire transition will be aborted and an error message is shown to the user.
Delayed execution

In case the configuration is incorrect, e.g. the issue type is not available in the target project or the target status is not available for the new issue type, the post function will be skipped. 

After the execution of the post function you might need to refresh your browser in order to view the the issue fully updated to the new project and issue type.

Moving individual sub-tasks is currently not supported. Sub-tasks can only be moved in sync with their parent issue.

When moving a parent issue, make sure that valid configurations (issue type and workflow statuses) for all sub-tasks issues exist in the target project.
