You can make calculated fields on the original issue and project to force info. For example:
The original issue needs a calculated field to capture the Submitter person (Primary Contact/Owner). Then, when converting to a project, the Project captures the same field from the original issue. Step 1: Make a calculated field called "Submitter" Step 2: Add that field to issue custom form. Calculated formula = Owner.Name Step 3: Add that field to PROJECT custom form: Calculated formula = IF(ISBLANK(Submitter),"",Submitter) Step 4: Make sure those custom forms are on both the issue and receiving project. Step 5: Convert the request to a project.
