Can someone assist me in showing a step by step process on how to move a already created task to a already created user story that is under the same Epic.
Example:
Epic: X
User Story: Y
Tasks: X
Want to move X tasks to Y user stories under X Epic.
Hope this makes any sense but if it doesn't please let me know and I can clarify. It seem to be a simple task but I wanted to make sure I am doing it correctly. When I use the move feature of the task it is asking me to move project to project? So that is why I'm a little confuse as I am trying to avoid any workflow impacts.
Thank you,

Hello @Fillip Ho
Can you clarify what you are trying to do?
You have said that the Task already exists, and also that the User Story already exists. So, is it correct that you already have a Task issue (ABC-1) and a Story issue (ABC-2)?
If so, what do you mean by you want to "move" the Task "to" the User Story?
Are you trying to change the issue type of the Task to User Story?
Are you trying to make the Task a child (a Sub-task) of the User Story?
The specific problem is there was a user story created with the title Implement Feature, then someone created a task with the same Implement Feature but did not put the task under that user story.
Ex:
Epic: Feature Name
User Story: Implement Feature
Task: Implement Feature
At this point it's not a "create" it's more of a "move" existing tasks under the existing user stories under the Epic.

Hello @Fillip Ho
The native hierarchy of issues is
Epic
|- standard types: Story, Task, Bug, etc
|- sub-task types
With this default hierarchy you can't make an issue a "child" of another issue at the same level. So in this case you couldn't make a Task a "child" (under) a Story. You would have to convert the Task to a Sub-task, and then you could make it a child of the Story. In this case you would use the Convert to Sub-task option rather than the Move option.
I see that you post indicates you have the Premium Jira Plan. It is possible to customize the hierarchy going upwards from Epic in that case. I don't know if your hierarchy is customized so that Task and User Story are not at the same level. If they are still at the same level, then you can't make one a child of the other. You would again have to change the issue type of the Task to an issue type that is directly below User Story in the hierarchy.

Btw the hierarchy Jira adopted doesn't make sense to me. A task should be able to become a child of a story. A sub-task should be the child of a task. It's semantic.
This would make more sense to me.
Epic
|- Story, Bug, etc
|- tasks
|- sub-task types
