If I delete a clone, will it also affect the original issue?

Hello community :-)

I was wondering, if deleting a clone will also delete the original issue?

When I tried to delete a clone of an epic (in a Scrum project) in a next gen project, the warning said "you will delete all related issues".

Thanks in advance for your help,

Sebastian

Hi Sebastian - I just tried a test of this (deleted the clone) and it did not delete the original issue (Epic). 

Now, having said that, it is rarely a good idea to delete an issue. It is better to mark it as Discarded or Canceled or something like that.
