How bulk move will act after move is done

Question

Scenario: After bulk move, example issue GEN-123 becomes ULE-123. Then we delete GEN project.

Question: If we search for GEN-123, will ULE-123 show up, since GEN is already deleted? Does the link between the two project keys remain even though GEN no longer exists?

hi @vishal03kadam,

I found a similar community question. there @Nic Brough -Adaptavist- says as below,

The move is simple - both ends of the link stay with it. Anything linked to OLD-10 will show NEW-20 on it as a link (it's not redirected though, the links are held as issue-id to issue-id so the view hasn't actually changed! Redirection only happens if someone goes to the old URL for OLD-10).

Deleting the OLD project will have no effect, you lose nothing.

Unless you create another new project called OLD, then when you hit OLD-10, your redirection will stop working. But your link between NEW-20 and other stuff will be fine.

Reference: What happens to the old JIRA link after you move an issue to another project?

hope you found this helpful!  😊
