Issue data

With Configuration Manager for Jira (CMJ), you can migrate the issue data for one or more projects from one Jira instance to another, preserving all comments, links, history, worklog, custom field values, agile data, and more.

...

Changes are organized in a table, each row representing a single project from the snapshot. For each project, you can review issue counters and a summary of the planned changes if required.

...

Issue import states

Issue data from the snapshot might be imported for projects that are new to this system and for existing projects, and depending on that, there are different states for the projects:

...

There are no issues in the snapshot for the specific project, or the existing project already contains the same issues as in the snapshot.

Counters

For each project from the snapshot, there are three issue counters displayed during deployment.

...

  • New - shows the number of new issues that will be imported to the existing project on the target Jira instance.

...

Deploy multiple projects

Deploying multiple projects with issue data is fully supported. During the deployment, CMJ searches for existing projects on the target instance. If a snapshot project is already present, CMJ adds only the new issues to the target project. Otherwise, a new project is created, and all its issue data is deployed.

...

During the deployment, CMJ creates all issue links that are exported with the snapshot as long as the destination issues exist in the target instance or in the snapshot.

Example:
In my instance, Project A and Project B have linked issues. I deploy only Project A to my target instance. Then, I deploy Project B. All issue links between Project A and Project B will be created as long as the project keys are not changed during the deployment!
