How to duplicate a JSM work order as a Jira bug?

[Manor Shaked Schlossberg]

I want to clone a JSM work item into a Jira Bug ticket so our R&D team can work on a separate case rather than directly in the work item.

Do I need to change anything in the settings?

I'd appreciate to learn a way that doesn't involve adding the entire R&D team as JSM users.

Thanks!!!

Hi @Manor Shaked Schlossberg 

You have 2 options:

1. If all R&D members have a Jira license you can add them as collaborators on the JSM space. They can then see the work items in the JSM space and are able to add comments. They can't transition work items.
   
   See; what-users-and-roles-are-there-in-jira-service-management 
2. Create an automation rule that creates an issue in a Jira space where the R&D users have access.
   
   The JSM agents, will then need a Jira licenses and access to the space to create issues or you have an account that is the actor of the automation rule that is a JSM Agent and has a Jira license
   
   Note, that JSM specific fields don't exist in a Jira space and can't be cloned

Hi @Manor Shaked Schlossberg 

 Welcome to the community!

To achieve that result, you have several options.

If JSM and Jira are on the same site, you can set up a global automation so that when an issue is created in the JSM project, it is cloned into another project.

The clone function is needed only if you have the same fields in both projects.

Otherwise, instead of cloning the issue, you can create a new work item in the target project and update only the relevant fields.

If JSM and Jira are on different sites, the only way is through an external app (such as Exalate or similar) or by using a web request with a properly configured POST API.
