mulhamna/jira-commands/change-type

Change an issue's type (e.g. Bug → Story) using jirac. This uses Jira's native move semantics — the issue key is preserved.

Steps:

1. Check that jirac is available by running jirac --version. If missing, tell the user to install it (cargo install jira-commands).
2. Extract from the user's request:

• issue key
• target issue type name (e.g. Bug, Story, Task, Sub-task)

1. Confirm intent — type changes can affect required fields and screens.
2. Run jirac issue change-type <KEY> <TYPE>.
3. Report the updated issue and its new type. Use jirac issue view <KEY> if confirmation is needed.

Notes:

• Issue key is preserved (PROJ-123 stays PROJ-123).
• Some custom-field values may be dropped if the new type's screen excludes them — verify with jirac issue fields -p PROJ --issue-type <TYPE> beforehand.
• Use jirac issue move instead when moving across projects; use change-type when staying in the same project.

Examples:

• "change PROJ-123 to a Bug" → jirac issue change-type PROJ-123 Bug
• "convert PROJ-50 from Sub-task to Story" → jirac issue change-type PROJ-50 Story
