Moving issue to a new project. What happens to the connected URLs?

Question

Hello,

I am looking to move a couple thousand issues into a new project. With that said, these are issues that are linked out to various places outside of JIRA. What happens to these links? Is there a redirect?

If not, what is the best way to accomplish what I'm trying to do without losing the previous URLs entirely?

Hi @Troy Anderson

I hope these documents may be helpful for you.

* Migration of Jira's historical keys for issues and projects 
* Project redirection is not working on destination Confluence when an issue moved from one project to another on source Jira cloud instance

Is there a link to official documentation referencing this functionality?

@Ben Weisman Yes, both Jira Cloud and Jira Server has the table to store the old issue key and auto redirect the users to the new issue key if the change is made within the same site.

But if you migrate this project to another Jira Cloud (or from Jira Server to Cloud), the old issue key data doesn't get migrated.
