hi Cristian,

Thanks for the replying.

I've use this method to clone project, but i met a problem that the issue link is wrong.

I have to manual modify the issue link for every single issue.

That mean i need to modify for 270K times.

So i need a way to clone project but do not need to manual modify the linkage.

Hi,

1.Create Shared Config project

2.Add Custom fields in the screens/ context for the new project

3.Exports CSV all issue from old project

4.Import CSV all issue from the old project

*-Please be notice that Jira can export only 1000issues per JQL search but you can use the below article for this topic:
