Change Project via API

[Linell Bonnette]

Let's say I've got an issue, JIRA-1, that is currently in project "Project 1". It needs to be in "Project 2" instead.

Following along with the documentation, it looks like issuing a PUT request to the issue with the following data should work:

```

{

"fields": {

  "project": {

    "key": "PROJECT-2"

    }

  }

}

```

In fact, doing this results in the correct `204 No Content` response that we're expecting. But the project hasn't actually changed. I've tried changing the data to include everything about Project 2, still to no avail. There are no errors.

Can I accomplish this via the REST API?

[Andreas Ebert]

Moving issues ist not possible with the REST API, as asked previously.

It appears that PUTing to the issue is only available for fields which are on the edit screen configured for that issue, see the description of the PUT method. And the project field cannot be one of those fields.

I'm not sure if this is possible. You should look into: https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/JRA-16494
