Bulk copy/clone issues from one project to another

Question

I have a project (Project1) and there are several tickets (Requirements / Bugs / Test Cases).

The team has been splitted and now we have another project (Project2).

Requirements:

1. Need to copy / clone all the issues of Project1 to Project2

2. All the tickets under Project2 should remain as it is (we do not want to MOVE the tickets from Project1 to Project2. We want to copy all the tickets)

3. All the attachments, linked tickets, comments etc should also be copied from Project1 to Project2

4. This process should be done in Bulk. We do not want to do manually one by one ticket.

Note: Both Project1 & Project2 is going in parallel.

I appreciate for your help.

Thank you

In data center version as a project admin:

create and save a filter to identify your issues.

go to project settings - actions - bulk copy issues

select your filter and appropriate copy settings  (linked issues can be copied via this procedure as well) - bulk copy issues.

select newly created issue via adjusted filter and use integrated bulk move functionality.

Hi Bikash,

one more option - with Configuration Manager for JIRA you can define a project template that will include all its issues and configuration and you can replicate this into one or many new projects. Its is better for repetitive work compared to the Bulk Clone add-ons as it handles all aspects of the project setup not just the issues.

This mechanism is described in the following use case: Project Template

Let me know if this might be interesting to you.

Cheers,
