This looks like a good way to go.  Bulk Edit (move, etc) is magical.   Here is a link to some documentation

Hi @Gal Fatal ,

As far as I know there isn't a out-of-the-box way to do it.

I suggest to try the way indicated in the second reply of this post: https://community.atlassian.com/forums/Jira-questions/Is-it-possible-to-Migrate-sub-task-to-task-issue-type-while/qaq-p/2726506?anon_like=2753990

Hope It helps
