Hi Sérgio,

You cannot do a Move using Automation in a simple way. The best you can do is Clone the issue in the desired target project, and then close or delete the original issue. 

So, there is no need to clone the issue into the same project, you can clone it with automation directly into the project where you want to "move" it to.

Hi! Thank you. That's using deep clone?

No, the Clone action in native Automation allows you to select the destination project/space.

Thank you!

An extra help: how can I ensure that the cloned issue is linked (cloned by) to the original?

[John Funk]

Add the Linked Issues field to the fields when you do the Clone. Change the link type to what you want and the second part would be Trigger issue.

Hi @Sérgio da Silva 

With an automation rule's Clone Work Item action, you may create it directly in the another space  (formerly called "project").  Have you tried that approach?

Kind regards,
Bill
