The move issues post function allows you automatically to move a standard-issue type to a different project or issue type


The move issues must be the last post function of a transition.


Configuration

Select the project which the issue will be moved to and you have the following options:

  • Retain the project
  • Selected project
  • Set project manually (parser expression)

    The input has to be a project ID or a reference like %{issue.project.id}



Select the issue type which the issue will be moved to and you have the following options:

  • Retain the issue type
  • Selected issue type
  • Set issue type manually (parser expression)

    Expects an issue type ID or reference like %{issue.issueType.id}



Select the status which the issue will be moved to and you have the following options:

  • Retain the status
  • Selected status
  • Set status manually (parser expression)

    Expects a status or reference like %{issue.status}



Define further fields to be updated, in the popup after clicking the Add button you can select to set the value in two ways:

  1. Copy field from the current issue (the value from the selected field will be copied over to the new issue)
  2. Set field value manually (expression parser)

    1. Enter plain text and optionally use Field codes, e.g. %{issue.summary}, to insert field values.

      By default, all other fields values will be retained



You have the following two options:

  1. Block transition and show an error message when the moving fails
  2. Delayed execution (The execution of this post function will be delayed by the value specified in milliseconds)

    The maximum delay is 60,000 milliseconds (60 seconds)




Choose which user* will be able to execute this post function. By default it is set to the Current user.


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 the valid configurations (issue type and workflow statuses) for all sub-tasks issues exist in the target project.
