Moving a field to the new descrition?

Submitted by jackkk on 2013-11-14

So with the new 1.1 version we got a description field.

Problem is that i have previously made my own description field in a folder called bugs. It´s a multiline Text attribute.

But know i wan´t to MOVE that text and put it in the new "Description" field of each issue. I really don´t wan´t to move that manually...it will take HOURS/DAYS.

So any SQL savy folks here?

Also wondering about an attribute that will auto increment a number. Is that possible to do?

Look at the addDescription method of System_Api_IssueManager to see what queries are used to add a description. You will probably need to do it in some kind of loop for each issue.

Why do you need an auto-incremented attribute? Just use the issue ID.
