Clone a space including Jira links

[Christian Polonio]

Hi there,

is there a way to create a deep copy of a confluence space, in which the links from/to Jira are also being cloned?

Example:

• Create a jira issue
• Create a confluence page in space A
• Link this jira issue to a sub-page of space A
• Now create a copy of space A named B
• Check Jira: This issue now shows links to the page in space A and B
• Check Confluence: Both pages (in space A and B) show a link to the jira issue.

The basic cloning function of Confluence does not copy the links (the jira issue shows only a link to space A and on the page in space B there is no hint of the linked issue). Is there a plug-in that provides this functionality?

I'm using the server versions of jira and confluence.

Best regards 

Christian

Christian,

There is currently no functionality in Confluence to clone a space, as you can see from the below article:

• How to Copy or Rename a Space in Confluence

We have a feature request below for the functionality:

• CONFSERVER-3191 Easily create a copy of an entire space

I'm not sure which method you were using, since this isn't a feature of Confluence, but there are a few add-ons suggested that you can try from the first article. I cannot say for sure if any of them support copying links to and from Jira, but it would be worth taking a look into them.

Let us know if you have any trouble.

Regards,

Shannon
