Hi Team ,

I am trying to copy all issues from one company managed project to another project in jira cloud with all attachments and subtasks , bugs with respect to status , assignee, and all fields in the existing project.

Please help me regarding this in the best possible way.

Dear @Harish N

Welcome to the community!

You can do that in 2 options: either using 3rd party plugin/app or using Jira's Built-in Features.

However, you can use the following steps to achieve your goal using Jira's Built-in Features:

1. Bulk Export and Import:

   • Go to the source project and use the Issue Navigator to filter all the issues you want to copy.
   • Export the issues using the "Export CSV (All Fields)" option.
   • Modify the CSV file if necessary to match the target project's settings, such as issue types and custom fields.
   • Import the CSV into the target project using the External System Import option in the target project's administration settings.

2. Bulk Move Issues:

   • If you only need to move issues (instead of copying), you can use the Bulk Change feature:
     1. Go to the Issue Navigator and select the issues to move.
     2. Use the "Bulk Change" option from the three-dot menu.
     3. Select Move Issues and follow the prompts.
