Project copy

Pat Flanakin

Is there a function in Jira to copy a project in order to setup a new one based on a prior project? I know the template function isn't available for projects, but if we can copy a prior project as the basis for a new project with all the same Issues, but just setup new dates and titles, that would be fantastic! Thanks for any input.

Hi,

You can use the shared configuration option when creating a new projet. The new project will have the same configuration.

If you want to have the same issue also, you could export them as CSV and import them in the new project or look at the marketplace if there is a plugin that allow copy of project with issue.

Hello @Pat Flanakin

we might have built the solution for you as Marketplace app 'Project Templates for Jira'.

You can clone projects including issues and all other stuff. But you can also setup custom project templates and specify some predefined issues that will be created with each new project. On those issues or predefined components you can set the due date and other date fields dynamically. For example have the due date of an issue always 10 days after project creation.

Give it a try, the 30 day free trial is without feature limitations, so you can test everything properly.

Hello @Pat Flanakin

If you're willing to use a third-party application, I can suggest trying our app Elements Copy & Sync that allows you to copy issues with all their content (summary, description, custom fields, comments, attachments, etc.) and their child issues.

You’ll be able to quickly copy everything from your template project to your new project.

Don't hesitate to try our app, it's free during 30 days and stays free under 10 users.

Kind regards,

Clara

I hope this functionality either doesn't change or only improves (works pretty well as is). I know software companies are always seeking to improve functionality, but sometimes their efforts, though unintentional, can "break" a good, functioning product (we have experience with this with other software hosting companies we use). In summary, I hope this Deep Clone app doesn't change so we can rely on it going forward.

Welcome!
