Moving or cloning an issue with attachments

Question

What are the best automated options to move or clone issues from one project to another while preserving the attachments. I have found add-ons that are manual, I am looking for an automated solution like jira automation. However currently, automation will not sync attachments.

Thanks,

Ben

Hi @Bentsion Berg

I am Marlene, product manager of Deep Clone for Jira.

It's indeed possible to automate cloning with our Jira cloud app.

* You can either add a Deep Clone workflow post-function
* Or integrate it with Jira Automation

If you have a question or feedback, don't hesitate to  contact us.

Hi Kristin, thanks for replying!

It is not clear how many times this happens but going to confluence is not an option. I had found the Deep Clone app previously and was hoping for another option. ScriptRunner, we do not have the bandwidth for. I guess, I will give the DeepClone app a try.

How often are you moving or cloning issues to another project that have attachments?  I saw this question asked that is similar https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Marketplace-Apps-Integrations/How-do-I-copy-attachments-when-cloning-an-issue/qaq-p/400339 and if you scroll down a bit it looks like there are some third party solutions.

If this is happening frequently is it possible to have the attachments uploaded to Confluence on a page where everyone has access then in the Jira issue, link to the Confluence page?
