I want to view subtasks on a business project board swimlanes?

[Chad Arbon]

I have a bunch of issues created with subtasks and want the subtasks to display on the board - similar to the Software Project I've done in the past.  Thanksl

For starters, I would make an inventory of all the important items in each instance. Consolidate these lists when you encounter any duplicates (eg: plugins). Export EVERY workflow you think you will need to XML. Import the ones you want now into the 'consolidated' JIRA. Next, I would install the plugins needed in the 'consolidated' JIRA using UPM. For scriptable items like usernames and custom fields, I would document the contents of all three instances and then generate scripts (in Jelly, for example) to create the usernames and custom fields in the consolidated JIRA.

Bottom line, reconcilliation and consolidation is very specific, so the responsibility lies with you. There is not 'silver bullet' to executing complicated transitions such as yours. But, with some proper planning and documentation, it shouldn't be too painful. Hope this helps!

It is going to be painful. For workflows, you can export them as XML and import them into the target JIRA. Same can be done for projects along with issues as long as the configurations are all in place!

Merging things like custom fields, global settings, users etc are the difficult part and there isn't an easier way than what you already mentioned I guess!
