What problem does it solve?
Issue type changes often require careful, consistent handling so the issue key stays the same and the update follows Jira’s native semantics.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Native type change semantics: Changes an issue’s type while preserving the issue key (e.g., PROJ-123 remains PROJ-123).
- Field/screen awareness: Helps users avoid surprises where the target issue type screen may drop custom fields.
- Same-project guidance: Uses the correct operation for changing type within a project, and points users to move when crossing projects.
Quick Start
Convert PROJ-123 to Bug by running: change PROJ-123 to a Bug with jirac.
