I've been handed some Jira projects which historically have used sub-tasks in an interesting way - having different sub-task types as children of a story. For example, UAT sub-task, development sub-task, spike sub-task etc.
The origanization approach is now to use only one sub-task type (Sub-Task). There are thousands of these orginal sub-tasks which I need to transition to this one Sub-Task issue type. How can I do this as a bulk edit and keep the parent-child relationship?
ie Story->UAT-sub-task should be Story->Sub-Task. With thousands of issues.
It is not an option to rename the different sub-task types!
Thank you

If you perform bulk edit and select move then you will get an option to keep or change the parent issue. Check the screenshot below.
It will be a bit challenging to do it for thousands of issues. May be break it up in batches from issue navigator.

Hi @Ravi Sagar _Sparxsys_ , that's great thank you. I'll try that.

I have an issue to move the issue type from a child issue type "Root-cause" to another one which is the "sub-task".
These issue types have different screens and fields.
I was able to move it from "sub-task" to "root-cause" but it is not working vice-versa.
