Sub-Tasks Not Using Assigned Workflow When Moving Parent Issue To Another Project

XMLWordPrintable

      Pre-Conditions

      • Source project and destination project has custom workflows.
      • Custom workflows have custom statuses.

      Issue/Reported Bug

      When moving an issue with sub-tasks from one project to the next, the parent issue will use the destination project's workflow assigned to the set status. However, its sub-task(s) would not use the destination project's workflow, but uses the default jira workflow instead.

      On some occasions, insisting on moving the issue will spew out the following stack trace:

      Workaround

      1. Convert the sub-task(s) to an issue.
      2. Move the converted issue(s) as well as the main issue to the destination project.
      3. Convert the converted issue(s) to sub-task(s) again.

      However...

      The workaround may not be feasible when dealing with the following scenarios:

      • an issue with lots of subtasks,
      • lots of issues with a subtask, or
      • lots of issues with lots of subtasks.
