Automation: clone project structure (epics, user stories, sub tasks)

Susak Maria

Hi folks

I want to create a kind of 'template-project', which I can then use for future projects and copy/clone the whole structure -> i mean all Epics, User Stories, Sub Tasks and possibly the checklists that have been created in the user stories.

For this purpose, I have created a "template structure" of Epics, US and Subtasks in my project. With the self created component 'Template' I bring them together.

So I created a new Automation in which the Comment is the main action. -> that is working

The Template Epic, US & SubTask are found and cloned -> also fine

The definition of how the summary is composed for the cloned Epics, US & Subtask does not work as desired. Instead of taking the text from the comment [{{issue.comments.last.body}}] {{issue.summary}}, it only takes the [] .
What is the reason for this?

Is there somewhere a good documentation or example how I can clone the whole project structure without having to build everything from scratch. I would be happy for input.

 

Many thanks in andvance.

Hi @Susak Maria 

Can I confirm, the Action is creating all the Issues in the template - with associated Epics, Tasks, and Sub-tasks (and their links) - based on the JQL?

I assume the smart value isn't working as the Comment is a multi-line text field, and the Summary field is a single-line text field - but it should be possible to set it to just {{issue.summary}}
