Move an issue to another queue using an API request

Written by
Updated at February 19, 2024

Use this request to move an issue to a different queue.

Before executing the request, make sure the user has permission to edit the issues to be moved and is allowed to create them in the new queue.

Warning

If an issue you want to move has a type and status that are missing in the target queue, no transfer will be made. To reset the issue status to the initial value when moving it, use the InitialStatus parameter.

By default, when an issue is moved, the values of its components, versions, and projects are cleared. If the new queue has the same values of the fields specified, use the MoveAllFields parameter to move the components, versions, and projects.

If the issue has the local field values specified, they will be reset when moving the issue to a different queue.
