I have succesfully implemented the automation as described in this article:

Automation for Jira - Writing a rule that clones stories (and their sub-tasks) linked to an Epic when the Epic is cloned

https://support.atlassian.com/automation/kb/writing-a-rule-that-clones-stories-and-their-sub-tasks-when-epic-is-cloned/

I would like to have this automation implemented when there are multiple projects linked to the epic and not stories or tasks of the same projects the epic lays in ? 

is this possible ?

Here is the error message of the Audit log

Thank you in advance

I am sorry. I had a misconception. Everything works fine within the same or multiple projects with the settings.

I used Jira Automation to clone an Epic with all its Stories based on this KB:
https://support.atlassian.com/jira/kb/automation-rule-to-clone-an-epic-with-its-child-issues/

High-level steps:

1. Trigger: Manual trigger
2. Condition: Issue type = Epic
3. Action: Clone Epic (Summary = `CLONE - {{issue.summary}}`)
4. Action: Create variable `NewEpicLink = {{createdIssue.key}}`
5. Branch: Stories in Epic
6. Action in branch: Clone issue
- Summary: `{{issue.summary}}` (no CLONE prefix)
- Epic Link: `{{NewEpicLink}}`
