After moving a Jira work item to another Jira space, open it using its new key and check its Vansah testing information before continuing your work. Moving the Jira work item does not move the original Test Cases into the destination space.
Before you move the work item
Make sure you have Jira permission to move the work item and create work items in the destination Jira space. See Jira work item permissions.
Confirm that Vansah is available in the destination Jira space and that the users who need to test there have appropriate access.
Note the original work item key and the Test Cases, Test Runs, and Test Plans currently shown in Vansah. This gives you a reference for checking the move.
Move the work item in Jira
Open the Jira work item.
Open More actions (three dots) and select Move.
Choose the destination Jira space and work item type. Complete any status mapping or required fields requested by Jira.
Review the move details and confirm the move.
Open the moved work item and note its new work item key.
The Move action is in the work item’s More actions menu.
This example shows Jira’s destination selection. Older Jira screens and screenshot annotations may use “project” or “issue” for Jira space and work item.
Check the Vansah information after the move
Open Vansah Test Management on the moved work item.
Under Test Cases, compare the linked case keys and versions with the original work item.
Check Test Runs for the executions and results you expect to see.
Check Test Plans and the relevant iterations if the work item had planned testing.
If the view looks out of date, reload the work item and reopen Vansah. Confirm the new work item key before creating or linking more testing information.
Vansah checks the Jira work item context when its panel opens. Always verify the displayed links and history after a move; do not assume every related item or saved reference has been updated.
What happens to the Test Cases?
Test Cases are separate Vansah records. They keep their original Jira space and readable case keys when the linked Jira work item moves. For example, a case such as DEMO-C46 can remain in its original space while the work item has a new destination-space key.
For more about using cases across Jira spaces, see Reuse Test Cases Across Jira Spaces.
If links or execution history are missing
Check that Vansah is enabled for the destination Jira space and that you can access the original Test Cases.
Confirm you opened the moved work item, and check the correct Test Plan iteration where applicable.
Before recreating Test Runs, relinking cases, or deleting any records, contact Vansah support so the existing associations can be checked.
Provide the Jira site URL, original and new work item keys, the time of the move, and examples of the missing case, run, or plan keys. Include a screenshot or the error message if available. This helps support compare the original and destination records.
