Copying a project without sharing the configuration

Question

Hey,

I'm looking for a way to copy a project with all of the workflows, schemes etc attached to it. The only thing is that I do not want it to be a shared config. This because I still want to be able to change things around in said projects without having to worry about all the other attached projects.

Hi  @Joeri Primo

You are asking to duplicate a project. If yes then I do not think this is possible in JIRA.

You could copy each setting separately and once the project is copied using scriptrunner you map the copied settings to the new project.

Also consider having a look at Clone project addon here: https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1211373/clone-project-for-jira?hosting=server&tab=overview

Hi @Olga Videc ,

Thanks for the reply!

I have scriptrunner and tried the copy function but it only copies the project with the shared configuration. So if I change a thing in the workflow it will change for both projects and I don't want that to happen.

Regards,

Joeri

Hello @Joeri Primo

Do you have ScriptRunner?

It comes with a built-in script for coping projects

A similar issue is discussed here.
