I would like to Import Issues including the comments.

[Gentrit Ajazi]

I have a projekt wich I want to "clone". I want to Export all of the Issues and then Import them in a different Project/Instance with the comments. How can I do this. Its very important to import the comments in chronological order.

I read all the disriptions online but i dont seem to understand how this could be done.

Hi Gentrit,

This isn't a function of Jira by default, but there are some add-ons that can help accomplish this.

Have a look at this article:

• Clone/Copy an entire Jira project

Can you let us know what your questions were about how to do it? You'll need to use a command line tool in order to accomplish it.

Alternatively, you could use one of these add-ons:

• Clone Project Plugin
• Clone Project for Jira

I cannot confirm if your other requirements will be met by these add-ons, as I haven't used them myself, but I would recommend running a test clone first, and see how it works for you.

Let us know if you have any trouble.

Regards,

Shannon
