Is it possible to Migrate sub task to task issue type while maintaining parent link

Johnathan_hkfumd

Hi Community of Jira enthusiasts!

I am bulk editing  & migrating sub tasks into tasks and the parent link field gets cleared, is it possible to change the issue type without losing the parent field? ( 1000's or issues to manually relink it epic, it is to disruptive for the production environment)

If so, what setting would prevent this?  Permission etc?

Crossing my fingers this is workable!

Best,

Johnathan

Hello @Johnathan 

No, you cannot convert a subtask to a level 0 (standard) issue type and keep its parent set to another level 0 (standard) issue type.

Jira does not allow an issue to have a parent that is at the same level. The parent issue must be in the level above the child.

The Issue Type Hierarchy indicates which issue types are at which level.
