NOTE: This suggestion is for JIRA Cloud. Using JIRA Server? See the corresponding suggestion.
In the Moving an Issue documentation, its stated that issue type cannot be changed if the target project has the same issue type.
![]()
You may have set up custom issue statuses as part of a workflow. If you have assigned a custom status to your issue and it does not exist in your target project, you must select a new issue status for your issue. You cannot arbitrarily change the issue status, i.e. the option to change the issue status will only appear if you are required to change it.
However, sometimes it is necessary for the issue type to be changed.

Thanks for taking the time to raise this issue.
Due to the large volume of JIRA feature suggestions, we have to prioritise our development efforts. In part, that means concentrating on those issues that resonate the most with our users.
I am writing this note to advise you, that we have decided to close your Suggestion as it has not gained traction on jira.atlassian.com. We believe being upfront and direct with you will assist you in your decision making rather than believing Atlassian will eventually address this issue.
Thank you again for your suggestion and if you have any concerns or question, please don’t hesitate to email me.
Kind Regards,
