I need to clone a task, there is a way I can choose which subtask I want to be cloned?

I have a task that, due administration purposes, must be manually cloned. This task has several subtasks. What I need is at the moment I clone this task I can choose which subtask I can clone. Because not all the subtaks that are in the tasks are needed.
Is that possible? there is a way I can accomplish this?
Thanks.

Hi @Sofia Grunspan 

Natively, using the manual Clone Issue button - this isn't possible - you can select to include all the Sub-tasks, or none of them.

If this is an exercise you will need to repeat, you could do something via Automation though. You could use... 

• Trigger: Manual Trigger - to add a new "option" for cloning that can be selected manually
• Action(s): Clone the Task, along with certain Sub-tasks, based on...
• Condition(s): Some unique parameter which identifies which Sub-tasks to clone, and which to ignore (eg. a Label - Clone_ST)

If this is a one-off exercise, I'd either...

• Do it manually, if it's a small Task / set of Sub-tasks
• Export the data to CSV, then reformat the list of Sub-tasks, and import it. See further instructions on how to do this on this help page

Let us know what you think!
