  • Permission Configurations: Copy permissions, notification settings, and issue types.
  • Attachments and Links: Ensure no detail is left behind, including subtasks, files, and URLs.

Hey there @Vipin P V _appserve_ai - A division of Empyra_ ! Probably confirming the obvious here, but I never like to assume I know it all :). From what I can tell, this is only supported in cloud instances, correct? That is to say, no support for Data Center. Also, might want to throw in a link for the App regardless to help folks find it faster than searching in the Marketplace for it like I did ;). Maybe I overlooked the link...?

Consulting firms often manage client-specific Jira setups, requiring consistent workflows and issue types. The ability to clone templates could drastically reduce project kickoff time while maintaining client quality. I'm curious to know if any project consultants here have explored this feature to streamline their project delivery process.

@Sachin Singh _appserve_ai - a division of Empyra_ I totally agree with the use case you've laid out. In fact, I could even be so bold as to say there would likely be utility locally with the instance I operate out of. If you have any sway or influence, I would encourage you to push whomever the decision maker is to consider development of a Data Center variant of your App. Many of us (myself included) will never be able to migrate to a Cloud hosted instance.
