Clone Issue - Default setting for sub-tasks

[Daniel]

Hello everyone,

is there a possibility to check the cloning of sub-tasks by default? For example, the attachments are active within this process

Best regards
Daniel

Hi @Daniel 

It is not that easy but you can use Automation rules for that as it is explain in this KB :

@Cyrille Martinthanks a lot. I tried it and it worked.
I think this is an alternative option for me. We will see 😀

Hi @Daniel

If you are willing to try a third-party app, our Deep Clone for Jira can be a massive help.

It allows you to create fully customizable cloning Presets, ensuring that sub-tasks, attachments, and other fields are included automatically. You can save time by eliminating the need to manually select options every time you clone an issue.

Hi @Daniel ,

Currently, admins cannot control what's selected by default in this modal screen. Here's a feature suggestion for this particular topic: JRACLOUD-84153: Allow admins to set defaults for Clone Issue action in issue dropdown menu 

So, for now, users would need to manually select the sub-tasks option if they would like for sub-tasks to be cloned together with their parent issue.

Cheers,
Tom
