      Hello!

      This is a feature we are sure we want to address as a part of our roadmap for Assets. Unfortunately it has not yet been scheduled as a number of other important features are being addressed first. I'll provide more updates as this changes. 

      All the best,

      Currently, for Server/Data Center, we have an option to move one or more objects from one object type to another within the same object schema: Move Objects

      This function helps to enable/disable inheritance using: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mPLTfsIJyVg

      However, this function is not available in the Assets on Cloud.

       

      Alternatives

      Workaround 1
      The objects can be exported from object type 1 and then imported into object type 2:
      Export objects
      Import objects

      Workaround 2
      Bulk clone objects to a different object type or schema using an Automation rule:

            How is this not possible yet? This is a basic feature that is needed immediately. This was available on our on-premise solution (back when it was owned by Riada) and we used this quite frequently in the past. Incredibly disappointed that this has not been implemented.

            Hello! We desperately need this. Please please please upgrade the priority and schedule it. It has been sorely missing since 2023 when we moved to Cloud. Jira Insight used to have this and it was a HUGE part of being able to have our inventory work smoothly.

            This is so basic, it needs to happen asap. Assets is still just a side project with limited use at this point.

            Happy New Year, everyone! May it be filled with joy, success, and - who knows - maybe even some miracles. Like Atlassian resolving to fix this bug. We can dream, right?

            Dear Atlassian-Team

            A flexible CMDB is nowadays an important component of modern IT Service Management.

            If Jira Service Management wants to remain competitive, this feature should be integrated as a standard function, as it was in the past with the on-premises version.

            Best regards,

            Roman

            Hello Team,

            Here yet another use case why this is so critical to have:

            • You build a nice CMDB where a user is an object
            • Different Object Types link to the users
            • Now you switch and/or use an asset importer to maintain the list of users
            • --> You need to redo all of those links, because export/import will not retain the incoming links

            Furthermore, it is common that a CMDB evolves and things get moved around and consolidated.

            Hi Atlassian,

            This is blocking one of the most requested features for our Shoppie app, and it’s quite difficult to believe that this functionality is not available. Many of our customers have been requesting this feature. Could you provide any feedback or a timeline for its availability?

            Between this and JSDCLOUD-10975 I am struggling to justify paying for Jira Service Premium. The Assets feature is just not mature enough for the price tag.

            I pledge you cannot name it "Assets" if that functionality is not given.

            Do the workarounds cover the scenario where you have linked objects with 1:1 cardinality?

            Hi 7260236ab89d, the last update was in Feb 2023, can you please provide another update, so we know where this stands, if this feature is at least being considered? This is a blocker for companies.

            Unfortunately it looks like Asset Management improvements are not on Atlassian roadmap, since from acquisition from previous company, they pay almost zero attention, which is ridiculous since Asset Management is part of IT SM processes. 

            Very disappointed with Atlassian approach !

            Please add this as without this functionality it makes the schemas/categories very rigid and hard to work with!

            Thank you!

            It is not fair to expect users to have their entire hierarchy mapped out before starting to use Assets, becauce you are unable to make simple reordering changes within the same schema.

            The need to know how your schemas should be built, and not "allowing" users to become smarter and work agile with Assets, really goes against the way of working within IT.

            I hope this feature become available really soon.

            This would be VERY helpful to my company. We move devices between internal employees and contractors all the time but I'm not actually able to move the devices back and forth between those objects.

            Justin King,

            This feature would be a great add on to the Assets toolset. At times, you may not know which area within the Object Schema an asset should go. Having the ability to change the type would be much easier than exporting / importing or even typing the data all over again. Please prioritize this feature.

            Thank you.

            I just spent a good while adding a good number of assets in an object type, only to find out that the automation capabilities aren't compatible with my needs & the object schema I setup.
            The ability to relocate the objects to a different object type would instantly solve my issue... however WITHOUT the ability to relocate assets within the object types.. it looks like I'm going to have to start from scratch to fix my error.

            Hello!

            Thanks very much for your input on this suggestion. It is our intention that this be possible in future, however it's not on our immediate roadmap. Our focus at the moment is on:

            • Increasing Insight's scalability to support many more objects and allowing larger imports.
            • Making our API's available on Forge.
            • Improving and harmonising the Insight user experience with the rest of JSM / Atlassian.

            I'll provide further updates as this is scheduled in our roadmap.
