Moving bulk issues to a new board

[Hannah Tattersall]

Hi there, I'm trying to move a backlog of issues from one board to another and wondering if this is possible? When I select all and click move, it only brings up one issue (even though I've selected multiple).

It is possible. Someone internally was able to show me.

Boards do not own issues. Issues appear on the boards by a filter query, which is defined for the board. You define the filter for a board in the Board configuration. Just make sure that the second board filter selects the required issues and the issues will appear in the backlog. 

But there can be a problem. If an issues is present on multiple boards, then changes to the issue on any board will make the changes be visible on the other boards as well. For example, if you add an issue to a sprint on any board, it will be added to a sprint on the other boards.

Hello @Hannah Tattersall

The idea of moving issues from one board to another is actually incorrect because boards in themselves are nothing but a view on the issues. The boards show issues based on JQL filters. So if your board A is showing issues based on JQL filter A and you want board B to show the same issues then in the board configuration of board B you have to use filter A as the underlying filter.
