Can you create an action to move issue to another project

Hardeek Patel

Want to create this automation- 

1. When issue is created containing text in summary

2. Move to another project

3. Edit fields in project

4. Assign to person

 

I know I can this do if I remove step 2 and make the automation within the same project, but can't figure out how to change the project, assign it and hopefully edit the status fields (different from current project) in the desintaiton project.

Hi @Hardeek Patel and welcome to the community!

Jira is not designed for routinely moving issues from one project to another and that's because there is a lot involved behind the scenes.  Jira has no way of knowing that the target project is configured the same (statuses, issue types, field configurations, etc.)

So, it is best practice to instead clone or create issues onto other projects.  You could extend your automation a bit to make a clone, link it to the source issue, and then close out the source issue as a potential workaround.
