How can I preserve the order of issues when bulk migrating them between Jira projects?

Question

When performing a bulk migration of issues from one Jira project to another, the original order of issues in the Issue Navigator is lost.

What are the best practices or solutions to ensure that the order of issues remains intact during the migration process?

Hello John,

Migrating one at a time was not possible. Anyway, I compromised the order.

Hello Mary,

I wasn’t able to try out this solution. In the end, I had to compromise on the order. Nonetheless, I appreciate your input and hope this helps someone in the future.

Hi Aromal - Welcome to the Atlassian Community!

You can't really control the order on a bulk migration. The only way to ensure that they are in the same order is to migrate them one at a time.
