Not able to Clone an Epic with all children using Jira Automation

Hi @vyanktesh_chandely

If you don't mind using a third-party app our app Deep Clone for Jira can clone Epics with all its children.
You can go clone your Epics the following way:

* Navigate to the issue you want to clone

* Click Action menu ••• > Deep Clone

* Select Epic/Tree Clone

* Configure and create your Epic/Tree Clone

In our documentation, you can also find a lot more you can do when cloning your Epic with Deep Clone for Jira.

Let me know if you have any further questions.
