   • They’re both in the Default Issue Type Scheme
2. Create a Task Management project
3. The issue types ‘Task’ and ‘Sub-tasks’ are created
4. Moving issues to ‘Task’ Doesn’t work

2. create a Business Project of Process Management type (PROCESS)
3. create a Software Project of Scrum type (SCRUM)
4. create issue in PROCESS, issuetype=Task
5. try to move issue above into SCRUM project, issuetype=Bug
6. you will get the error attached. Choose SCRUM project, issuetype=Story works fine

The issue type selected is invalid.

Notes
