How to bulk move issues to another project

Josh Pike

From the backlog view, you can click on an individual issue, and in the details sidebar, click the [...] button to "Move" the issue to another project.

This option is not available from the [...] button on the backlog list view, with multiple issues selected (where you can move to top or bottom of backlog, for instance).

Is there a way to bulk move issues from one project to another in the next-gen jira?

Hello Josh,

Yes, there is a way to do that.

Go to the Advanced search view and search for issues to move
Select the options button (3 dots in top-right corner) > Bulk Change...
Select the issues you'd like to perform the bulk operation on, and select Next.
Select Move Issues, and select Next.

Try this to bulk move in the Next Gen version:

Go to the project with the tasks you want to move.

On the left hand navigation menu click on "Issues".

In the upper right hand side, click on the "Advanced Search" link.

in the far upper right corner, click on the "meatball menu" - the three dots. Click on "Bulk change all".

Select all tasks using the higher list checkbox.

Click on Next.

Select "Move Issues" and click Next.

Select the project you want to move the tasks, subtasks, or Epics to. Note: you may want to move based on task type so that you can maintain the type for the task in the other project.

Click on Next.

Verify the target status and click Next.

Verify the task fields and click Next.

Thank you! I didn't realize how many more actions were possible from the search results!

Hi Tuncay,

I don't see the tools menu in the Next Gen project like we do on the issues screen in classic. Is there a screen shot you can include. I need to move all my epics and stories from a Next Gen project to a classic, because we can't use the Next Gen without subtasks. Right now, I am only seeing a way to move one item at a time, and no option to bulk move.

Thanks

you need to click on search icon on the left hand side blue global bar and then click on View all issues. once you are on issue navigator page, specify your search results for your next gen projets. once you see your issues then click on 3 dots on the top right. here is a screenshot for you

If you don't have 'Bulk' actions in your dropdown - check your permissions.

Hi there!

I have a question related to this topic. I made bulk move from a classic project to next gen one. The problem is that the issues kept the previous parent epics. Is it supposed to work like this?

Thank you!

Do you happen to know which setting would provide this correct permission?

Hi There!

I would like to know if the Comments, History will be maintained in the destination project once they are bulk moved.

Ensure you are a member of a group with Jira Admin permissions in admin.atlassian.com.

Ramanathan Yegyanarayanan

Yes History remains the same as it is and that move will also get recorded in history.

Hi,

I dont see the bulk move option in cloud jira.

How do I see it.

Nicole Naude

There is a permission setting for Bulk Move now in the Global Permissions settings. You will need to have an Admin grant you that permission before you will see the option.
