I've been following the JIRA python module guide on https://jira.readthedocs.io/en/master/ I couldn't find a way to move a ticket/issue from one project to another, or perhaps change the issue type from subtask to a task. Is there a way to do this using the python module or an API?
There is no way to move a ticket from project X to project Y. The workaround I found for this was to create a new ticket with the relevant data from the original ticket and the desired new issue type. Afterwards you can delete the original ticket.
