Environment

Diagnosis and Cause

• Attempt to bulk change issues and check if the destination project appears in the drop-down list.
• Verify if the project is new:
  • Check the list of all projects to confirm if the destination project exists.
  • Determine whether you or someone else created the project to assess potential permission gaps.
  • Have you successfully moved issues in bulk before
• Confirm your permissions:

Solution

• Check and Update Project Permissions:

  • For company-managed projects:
    • Ensure you have Create Issue and Browse Project permissions for the destination project.
  • For team-managed projects:
    • Verify that you have Admin access to the destination project.

• Ensure Global Bulk Change Permission:

  • Confirm with your Jira administrator that you have the global Bulk change permission enabled.

• Verify Project Accessibility:

  • Confirm that the destination project is visible in the list of all projects to ensure you have the necessary permissions to access it.
