Is there anyway to clone issues to another project without paying for a plug in?

[tracy.giles-saunders]

I need a way to create a template of issues for a number of projects but I can only find paid for plug-ins which will be attached to each license so this becomes a ludicrous amount of money when only 3 people would need to use it.  I've also found a way of importing a CSV file but if there are sub tasks we will need to change all id's to be unique every time which again is time consuming.

Are there any free plug ins that do this?

Any help would be appreciated.

Many Thanks

oo... so you want an unread comment indicator not as a flag for users that they have comments unread on issue but as a flag do or not assignee reads all of changes in issue?

at least as i see you can remove comment from menu and add another fake transition with a comment screen and this 'counter' field modification

I was planning on just the Assignee to be able to reset the count to 0 - as they are the main person the count is there for

you should bear in mind that you need per-user unread indicator - so one counter is not enough

imho you need a flag per issue per user but this can be a pretty good load for big jira instances
