Issue Summary
Preserve Issue Links When Migrating from Team-Managed to Company-Managed Jira Projects via CSV.
Currently, when migrating issues from a team-managed Jira project to a company-managed project using the standard CSV export and import process, all existing issue links (such as "blocks," "relates to," "is duplicated by," etc.) are lost. The CSV export only includes issue data like summary, description, and status, but does not capture or transfer the relationships between issues. As a result, users must manually recreate all issue links in the new company-managed project after import, which is time-consuming and error-prone.
Steps to Reproduce
- Create a team-managed project and make sure to link the issues
- Now export the data from team-managed project and import it to company-managed project.
- The data will successfully transfer, but there will be a break in dependencies.
Expected Results
Enhance the Jira CSV export and import functionality to support the migration of issue links when moving issues from a team-managed project to a company-managed project. Specifically:
- Include all relevant issue link data in the CSV export from team-managed projects.
- Ensure the import process into company-managed projects can recognize and recreate these links, maintaining the relationships between issues.
Actual Results
As per the design, the link will break once the data is moved from Team to company managed project.
Workaround
Currently there is no known workaround for this behavior. A workaround will be added here when available
