I have 1 project with 2 boards.

How can I create an automation rule to clone the issue from one boards to the other one? 

Thanks!

Hello @Tibi Ionescu

 

If you're seeking for an easy way to clone an issue between boards, you can try our app Elements Copy & Sync that allows you to clone and sync a full hierarchy of issues with all their content (summary, description, custom fields, comments, attachments, etc).

You can check our guide here.

The app is for free during 30 days (and it stays free under 10 users).

Hi @Tibi Ionescu -- Welcome to the Atlassian Community!

A Jira board is a view of issues in a project based on a saved filter.

You describe having two boards, and so it is likely the saved filters are different for each board.  For example:

project = myProject AND labels = A-Label ORDER BY Rank ASC

project = myProject AND labels = B-Label ORDER BY Rank ASC

 

When you want to clone an issue and have it appear on a specific board, the fields of that issue will need to match the saved filter needed.

Following my example above, if an issue on the "A board" was cloned and you wanted it to appear on the "B board" the label value would be changed after it is cloned.

Kind regards,
Bill

Thank you for the response, but it is still not totally clear for me.

I have 1 board where all the issues appear. I analyse them and if no changes are needed I want to set the "actions" button to clone the issue to the other board. In the 2 boards I have one identical column and after the cloning, the issue should appear in both boards.

Can you show me what automation rule should I create? 

Thanks!

What are the saved filters for the two different boards?
