Is there a way to clone/move issue from one project to another including the parent or Epic

Noureldin Ali July 15, 2020

I tried creating a rule to clone an issue from project A to project B when the issue transitions in project A to a specific status. When I was creating the rule, there was no option to clone subtasks or tasks within the Epic. 

 

It seems it will work fine on simple issues but not on Epics. My goal is to transition the Epic itself and it along with all of the issues linked will be cloned to the other project.

Hi @Noureldin Ali 

To accomplish what you ask, you would need to split the problem up into parts: clone the parent, and then branch to iterate over the children to clone them.  As needed, you can selectively alter fields as part of the cloning.  Note that clone will not copy the links, comments, or attachments.

Please see here for more information on the cloning action:
