How can we copy an EPIC card (incl. tasks attached to it) from one board to another board ?

[Christine Flament]

It's only relating to EPIC CARDS with tasks linked to the EPIC. When copying the card (so the EPIC card) from one board to another board, tasks are not copied ! How can we do that easily and for free ? Thanks a lot

Hi Christine - Welcome to the Atlassian Community!

A question first - Why are you copying the Epic to another board? Are you really just wanting to show the same Epic on two boards? Or is the Epic being copied to another project? 

[Christine Flament]

Yes, I would like to copy few Epic cards from one board or few boards  (projects board) to another board with my to do do lists including some Epic cards from project boards. Thanks so much for your help.

Not copy to a board. Copy to another project?

Hi @Christine Flament -

I'll try my best to help answer this. In short, it's free. :)

If you are copying from one board to another in the same project, the board has a filter of what it can and can't show. So, you can update the filter to allow to see those Epic and task. So, there's no copying needed.

If you are copying from one project board to another project's board, then you will need to clone each task separately. If you want to clone in bulk, then you need an app.

There's an app for this which is free which will help with your issue:

If you are planning to do more of variation of these operations, looks into bulk clone or deep clone.

Hope this helps!

Hi @Christine Flament ,

With our cloud app Deep Clone for Jira it's also possible to clone Epics and all included issues. You can even bulk clone several Epics at once.
