Migrate one issue type to another --> update issue type workflow status to destination status

[Akash Panchal]

Hey everyone, 

I have a question regarding issue type migration. Here are the details:

- Migrate issue type A to issue type B

- IF issue type A's current status = Open, THEN migrate the status to 1st Review (this status is found within the workflow of issue type B)

Here is how I'm looking to approach this, but would like any advice before doing so:

Workflow:

- Copy the project workflow scheme --> edit the workflow scheme so that issue type A's workflow is now associated with the workflow of issue type B

- Apply the updated project workflow scheme to the project

Issue Type Migration:

- Search via JQL query for issue type A with status = Open 

i.e. project = example AND issuetype = A AND status = Open 

- Bulk update the result issues and update the status to 1st Review 

- Copy the existing project issue type scheme --> modify to remove issue type A --> add issue type B to the scheme --> apply scheme to project

Does this approach make sense or am I completely off? Thank you for the help in advance!

Hi @Akash Panchal  Actually the Bulk edit will workout what you have expected. But try once in Sandbox before you go to implement in Production.

Thanks,
