EPIC Cloning = EPIC Fail

[Toby Mitchell]

I am trying to understand what the point of 'Cloning' an EPIC if it does not copy all of the attributes (ie Child tasks)

I understand that I can create workflow that will do it, but this should be an out-of-box feature. Without it, cloning an EPIC is really no better than just creating a new EPIC.

Hi @Toby Mitchell welcome to the Atlassian Community!

I understand your frustration, the Clone feature in Jira is very basic. I rarely use it. There's no difference between cloning a base issue type or a parent issue type.
