Hi @Antonio Koronios 

What type of project are you using: company-managed or team-managed?

If you are using a team-managed project, when you moved the Epic to another project, you were likely prompted if you also wanted to move the child issues.  What did you select to do: move them, or not?

If you did not select to move them, their relationship to the parent Epic was removed and the child issues remained in their original project(s).  In that case you could move them to the new project and re-connect them to the parent Epic.

Kind regards,
Bill

Hi @Antonio Koronios

 

I've done many times as well. To add to what @Bill Sheboy said, I usually find one of the child issues. If you look in the history of the ticket, it'll show that the Epic was changed from something to nothing.

I then use that epic id to find all the child issues. You can move them over 1 by 1 and res-associate them in the new project.

Please let us know if you were able to recover your child issues. :)
