Behavior of Moving Synced Issues to Another Project

This article explains what happens when you move a work item that is synced with Backbone to a different project.

Default behavior

When you move the work item to another project, the following will happen:

• Backbone will not throw an error (i.e work item is missing)

• Backbone will synchronize changes made on the issue which was not moved to the work item which was moved

  • You can unlink the work items/issues if you don't want the changes to be synced anymore

• Backbone will not synchronize changes made on the issue which was moved

If you are moving a work item to a project with a synchronization: Backbone will also sync the moved work item to a new work item and keep those two in sync according to the new synchronization. Please note that sync panel info might be outdated after moving a work item if the steps to clear the sync panel are not followed.
