Selecting tasks from a epic to clone

[kmurphy]

We have epic templates that have a handful of tasks. Each epic is for a different type of campaign. However, there are instances when some tasks aren't needed. Is there a way to essentially pick form a check list of existing tasks to clone over to a new epic? IE..

We have Epic A with 15 tasks for a campaign type. The next time we are running a similar campaign type, I would like to be able to check that we need 7 of those tasks in our new Epic B. Right now, we clone the entire Epic A and delete or close out tickets that aren't needed for Epic B.

Hello,

You can not do it out of the box. 

You can use the Structure plugin, which will show the required hierarchy in the convenient way:

Or you can use the ScriptRunner plugin to query such issues:
