Does cloning a Gantt program clone all the tasks within that gantt chart in JIRA?

Question

Our BigGantt plug in is still not working for linking even though we have it set up in the admin view. So I was trying to clone a gantt program so the heirarchy of the tasks would be repeated. However, I noticed a large amount of issue types were created under my name yesterday that I did not do. When I cloned the gantt program, did it clone all the tasks in JIRA?

I had the same problem, quite confusing! I used a JQL like this to bulk-delete the issues: project = AND createdDate >= AND createdDate <= AND reporter = currentUser() AND issueLinkType = Cloners ORDER BY status ASC, created DESC

Huge amount of JIRA tasks was assigned by me which I never intended.

Plz help me.

Hey @Chelsea McCall,

Regarding the links issue, please, contact us via our Portal. We'll approach the problem much faster this way.

Answering your question, if you clone an existing Program, all issues that are in the scope of this Program also get cloned. From my experience, this might be problematic for users which unawarely choose a Jira Project which is already populated with issues. Screenshot for a reference below:

Cheers.
