How to copy or export/import issues between Jira projects while retaining all fields?

Tharunkumar B

have a project in Jira, let's call it Project A, which contains 15 issues. I need to copy or export/import these issues to another project, Project B. However, after migrating the issues, I've noticed that some fields are missing. Here’s a screenshot showing the missing fields:

Hello @Tharunkumar B

How are you importing the issues? Are you using a CSV import? Such a process will not create tabs and fields in the destination project. Those have to have been already set up in the destination project.

This is how you would copy or export/import all fields between any two projects in Jira.

1. Exporting Issues :
- Make sure you are in the project from which you want to export issues.
- Use filter to select all issues you want to export.
- Click the button <Export>, and choose the format: CSV, Excel.

2. Modify the Exported File :
This should correctly fill all information with the field configuration of the target project.

3. Importing Issues :
Destination project
Jira Settings > System > External System Import
Select the file format, such as CSV or Excel, that was exported.
Upload the file, then map fields to the destination project's fields.
- Complete the import.

4. Alternative Approach - Bulk Update :
- Bulk update in Jira is another mechanism that can be leveraged to move issues between projects.
- Filter issues in the issue navigator, then use Tools > Bulk Change.
- Follow the wizard to move the issues into the new project.

These steps ensure that all fields are carried forward.
