Is there a way to copy a workflow scheme AND it's associated workflows and screens?

[Josh McManus]

My instance has a lot of projects, and a lot of teams. I often find that one team will want to tweak one thing about a screen or issue workflow, but the process to copy the workflow scheme, copy each of the workflows, and copy any screens those workflows use, and then reassociate everything all over again to be highly tiresome and I would love the ability to split off these elements so that all are copied and associated in a single command. Any ideas?

Hello @Josh McManus

While Jira does not have a native function for copying a workflow scheme along with its associated workflows and screens in one step, our app Deep Clone for Jira might help streamline this process. Deep Clone allows you to clone entire Jira projects, including workflows, schemes, and issues.

If you only want to clone the projects with its schemes, you can just stop after the project is cloned, and you don't need to clone the issues.

If you want to clone and associate the schemes you need to select the option under Show advanced scheme options.

Hello @Josh McManus 

There is not a native, prebuilt solution for that. Are you willing to consider third party apps?

Do you really want new copies of everything? If only one screen in one workflow needs to be modified, you only need a copy of the workflow scheme, the one workflow, and the one screen. The Workflow Scheme can otherwise reuse all the workflows and screens that are not changing.
