Can anyone help me find ways to copy an issue key into a custom field and if yes what are the ways?

Greetings!
If I want to transfer some of my issues from Project A to Project B, in this process the issue key will get updated. After the transfer, is there a way for me to know the previous issue key of the issue?
Following are some of the ways I read about-
1)Adding a custom field and populating it with an issue key
2)Using a Plug-in Script Runner
3)Searching the issues, downloading a CSV file and then re-uploading with a new issue key and old issue key column.
Is there any other more easy comprehensible way to do this?

You could use Automation for Jira to populate a custom field (or label etc) with the original key I'm sure.

Why would you need to do this though?

It is one of the Client's Requirements. Thank you

Sure - but understanding the outcome (what do they hope to use that data for in future?) helps shape the best solution

This data is used in times of moving issues from one project to another. Having a field like that could be handy. Hence the requirement.
