How do I migrate one project to another without losing anything?

Amy Moran

In order to gain more control over permissions (so members can only view assigned issues), I am migrating from a team-managed to company-managed project. Can I bulk move all the issues over without losing the sprints, epics, stories, tasks, subtasks, and bugs? Will I retain assignees, descriptions, comments, and all other aspects of each issue?

Hi @Amy Moran 

Here is the extract from the documentation on migrating the issues from team-managed project to company-managed project

Things to keep in mind if you migrate from team-managed to company-managed

Team-managed projects and company-managed projects are technically quite different. Here's a few things to consider when you migrate from a team-managed software project to a company-managed software project:

• Board statuses: If you customized your team-managed board, you'll need to set up the same statuses in your company-managed project's workflow. Only Jira admins can create and modify statuses and workflows. Learn more.

• Custom fields: If you use custom fields in your team-managed project, a Jira admin needs to recreate the fields and add them to screen schemes and field configurations in your company-managed project. Custom field data will need to be recreated, otherwise it will be lost.

• Issue types: If you added your own issue types to your team-managed project, you'll need to have a Jira admin recreate these using an issue type scheme that they associate to your new company-managed project. Learn more.

• Project access: Access to company-managed projects is controlled by a permissions scheme. Only your Jira admin can update your company-managed project's permission scheme. Learn more.

• Project and issue keys: Project keys are unique and can never be reused in Jira. If you migrate your issues to another project, they will get new keys and the new project must have a different key of its own. If you migrate your issues using the process above, Jira will automatically redirect any links to your old issue keys.

• Reports: Reports data won't be saved. Even though your issues will be retained, data for your project's Velocity and Burnup reports won't transfer over, and will be lost.

• Story points estimation: This data will be lost. This is because the custom field that Jira uses to store estimates in company-managed projects (Story points) is different to the custom field used in team-managed projects (Story point estimate).

Other than this let me know if you have any queries
