How to bulk change project type?

David A1

Hi

We are planning to migrate from JIRA 6 to JIRA Software.  We have 53 legacy projects that we wish to keep as type 'Business'. They will be converted to type 'Software' by default and then I will have set each one individually back to type 'Business'.

Can I change project types in bulk? Perhaps by running a script?

Best regards

David

You can write a groovy script to update the project type using this API method

com.atlassian.jira.bc.project.ProjectService.updateProjectType(ApplicationUser, Project, ProjectTypeKey)

It could be something like:

import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor;
import com.atlassian.jira.bc.project.ProjectService;
import com.atlassian.jira.project.type.ProjectTypeKey
def type = new ProjectTypeKey("Business")//not sure about the exact type string
def ps = ComponentAccessor.getComponent(ProjectService.class)
def projectKeys = ["PI", "MTP", ....]
projectKeys.each(){p->
	ps.updateProjectType(user, ps.getProjectByKey(p),type); 
}
