how to copy issue+subtask to another epic

Question

Hi

I want to copy issues with tasks and subtasks to another epic.
They have the same tasks so I want to copy it.
I tried cloning it but cloning just allows to copy links.
I want the whole tasks and subtasks to be copied to another epic.

Is there any efficient way to do that?

Thank you.

Hello @Cristian0791, and welcome to the community, @Ito Miyu.

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

Your use case is indeed possible with our app. If Deep Clone is installed on your instance, you must follow these steps:

* Under Filters > View All Issues filter for all tasks under the Epic using JQL ("parent link" = KEY-123)
* Click on Apps > Bulk Clone on the top right navigation
* Select "Clone subtasks" in the Bulk Clone dialog
* Select "Edit Parent using Field Editor" next to "Parent"
* Enter the key of the new parent and clone

Hello Ito, this functionality is not available with the standard features of Jira. You will need to install a third-party app. I recommend using DeepClone: https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1218652/deep-clone-for-jira?tab=overview

Hello @Ito Miyu

If you're seeking for an easy way to clone an epic with all the tasks and subtasks, you can try our app Elements Copy & Sync that allows you to clone and sync a full hierarchy of issues with all their content (summary, description, custom fields, comments, attachments, etc).

You can check our guide here.

The app is for free during 30 days (and it stays free under 10 users).

Kind regards,
