How to Clone Children Hierarchy When Portfolio Epic is Cloned in JIRA Cloud?

Hi Community,

I have portfolio hierarchy i.e. Portfolio Epic > Feature > Task > Subtask in a project.

My use-case is:

  • When Portfolio Epic is cloned, the linked Child (Feature) also gets cloned by default jira clone process.
  • However, the grand child (Task) and great grand child (subtask) linked to the same Portfolio Epic, are not getting cloned wrt above process.

Please kindly assist on how we can clone the whole Children hierarchy when the Portfolio Epic is cloned in Jira Cloud and how it can be achieved via jira automation rules, scriptrunner behavior, or jmwe app? 

Thanks

Hi @Digvijay Singh Gehlot 

If you're open to using Atlassian Marketplace apps, I’d recommend checking out our app Easy Clone for Jira Cloud.

It's specifically designed to help with cloning issue hierarchies like the one you described (Portfolio Epic > Feature > Task > Subtask) and can save time by replicating entire structures in just a few clicks.

Best regards,

Olivier
