How do i update the issue type "Test" to Issue Type "Bug" through bulk Update?

[Manisha Pardeshi]

I uploaded the issues in bulk using Bulk Upload feature. These were supposed to be with issue type as "Bug" but because i missed providing issue type s "Bug", it got uploaded as "Test".

Now, during Bulk Change issues, the issue type as "Bug" is not displayed for selection.

How do i update the issue type "Test" to Issue Type "Bug" through bulk Update? I am not willing to delete these issues from Jira & do the re-upload with proper issue type.

Please help.

Hi @Manisha Pardeshi, 

Once all of the issues are uploaded, navigate to the JQL issue search and filter the issues to get the list that you'd like to change to a bug.

Then click on the bulk change option (3 dots in the top right of the screen), select all of the issues, then Choose the 'Move issues' operation. On the next page you should be able to change all of the issue types to the bug issue type.

Hope this helps!
