Why is duplicate not showing in my dropdown menu on Roadmaps?

[Chaney Engel]

I am trying to duplicate a plan.  I am on Roadmaps and everything shows.  When I click my settings icon, duplicate is not an option.  How do I duplicate this JIRA plan, so I don't have to redo all the items in it?

Hello @Chaney Engel 

Welcome to the Atlassian community.

Are you using Jira Cloud or Jira Data Center?

Can you provide a screen image of what you are seeing?

Are you able to create Plans from scratch?

Welcome to the Atlassian community. Thank you.

Are you using Jira Cloud or Jira Data Center? Data Center I believe from my icon being on the right side

Can you provide a screen image of what you are seeing? Attached.

Are you able to create Plans from scratch? Yes.  I am trying to use the one I created as a template for the next one.

Thank you for that information. That was helpful.

The "duplicate plan" feature is not available for Data Center. There is a change request about that here:

https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/JSWSERVER-25193

Thank you for that information.  Very disappointing  The lack of activity on that link doesn't give me much hope.

A few additional questions.  Can the versions (Cloud vs Data Center) be mixed and matched within an organization?  If they can, would I be able to get a cloud version, so that I could duplicate, and would others be able to use the duplications if they had Data Center versions?

The Jira Data Center product and the Jira Cloud product are separate products with separate licensing costs, separate infrastructures, and separate databases. You cannot co-mingle them in the manner you are suggesting.

If you had a Jira Cloud instance you would be able to create Roadmaps only referencing the issues in that instance, and duplicate the Roadmaps only in that instance. You would not have the ability to create roadmaps in Jira Cloud referencing the data in your Jira Data Center instance.

A person would have to be a licensed user of that the Jira Cloud instance to access those roadmaps. Their ability to access your Jira Data Center instance would be irrelevant. 

On a side note your company should be aware that Atlassian has announced End Of Life plans for the Jira Data Center product. For more information refer to:

Thank you for all the info.  The EOL shows 2029, so still some time, but they will definitely have to make a decision.
