Frequently Asked Questions

Can I bulk clone issues across different Jira projects?

No, bulk cloning in Jira typically works within the same project. If you need to clone issues to different projects, you'll need to clone them individually or use third-party apps from the Atlassian Marketplace.

What information gets copied when I clone issues in bulk?

When cloning issues, you can choose which fields to copy, including summary, description, components, and custom fields. However, some elements like issue history, comments, and attachments may need to be selected specifically. The clone dialog will show you all available options.

Is there a limit to how many issues I can clone at once in Jira?

While Jira doesn't specify a hard limit for bulk cloning, performance may be affected when cloning very large numbers of issues. For best results, consider cloning in batches of 50-100 issues at a time if you're working with extensive issue lists.
