Report Bulk Move information

Question

I just did a bulk move from one project to another.  Sadly the PBI numbering changed.  I would like to generate a report that provides the old number and new number mapping.  I can see the information in the history section of each PBI, but I would like to report on them all at once.

Thanks!

Hi -

The reason is that we have communicated outside of confluence and Jira the PBI's and used the numbers in our communications.  Since I moved everything over, I was surprised that the numbers changed, and I need to be able to communicate or cross reference those until everyone gets on the new numbering system.

Thanks,

Matt

Hi @Matt Mason ,

If you don't mind me asking, why do you need to report a list on all issues that have been moved?

Users with the issue key of the old issue should automatically be redirected to the new issue key.

(PBI = Product Backlog Item)

Oh ok.

Try Advanced Export it can export the history. It will generate a csv file with multiple entries of the same issue. Try if it solves your problem.

Or better just try explore the REST api, it has some capabilities to show history like this.

rest/api/2/issue/SSP-22?expand=changelog

It will return in the JSON histories with multiple entries like.

{"field": "status","fieldtype": "jira","from": "10007","fromString": "To Do","to": "10003","toString": "Done"}
