movedProjects

Search for issues that were moved between projects. 

From Sep 30, 2024 , movedProjects is not supported for new customers. The keyword will not be indexed and using it in a query will not return and issue. Customers who installed the app prior to this date are not affected by this change. See the deprecation notice to learn more.

Example

Find issues that belonged to a different project and were moved. For instance, the following query finds issues that were in projects SEARCH and DATA. 

Due to a Jira system limitation, it is impossible to build a command that supports searching from/to. The query will find all issues that were in SEARCH or DATA at some point. 

movedProjectsCount

Search for issues that were moved between a number of projects.
