How to Move Issues between subtasks and change the parent using the new bulk

[Trudy Claspill · Accepted solution]

Hello @Serhii Tarasiuk 

Welcome to the Atlassian community.

I'm not sure what you mean by "Move Issues between subtasks". Can you provide more information about that?

If you have been granted the Bulk Changes global permission you can move a group of subtasks from one parent issue to another.

Start by identifying the Subtasks that you want to move.

If you select multiple subtasks under the same parent, the process will require you to move them all to the same new parent. If you want to move subtasks under one parent to a variety of new parents, you'll need to select them in groups or individually.

After creating that filter and finding the subtasks you want to move, select the Bulk change option

Choose the issues you want to move. You don't have to move all the ones found in the search. You can select a subset.

Click Next at the bottom of the list.

Choose the Move operation and click Next.

Specify the new parent issue, and new project if necessary.  Then click Next.

There will be a confirmation screen for you to confirm that you want to proceed with the changes.

I can't find that option. Only "View work items as a chart" and "Send feeedback" (my printscreen is portuguese)


How Bulkchange work items? Is my user configuration?

Hello @Terry Cunha Duarte 

Welcome to the Atlassian community.

You do not appear to have the permission needed to make bulk changes to items. You would need to contact your Jira Administrator to request that permission.
