Does cloning stories impact metrics

[Jonathan Showalter]

How does cloning a story impact metrics differently than just creating the story on its own.  Thank You

Hi @Jonathan Showalter -- Welcome to the Atlassian Community!

To which metrics are you referring, and where in Jira are you seeing these metrics?  Knowing that may help the community to offer ideas.

Cloning is just creating an issue by another path, and so I find it unlikely it would do anything regarding built-in reporting.

Kind regards,
Bill

Sorry.  I reread my question and realized how unclear it is.  If I clone a story, do the dates of the original story (i.e. created date) copy over to the new story or do the dates reset to current.

I am a new Jira user so there could be an impact that I'm not aware enough to ask about.

If cloning is just a simple and fast way to make a copy of the title, description, a/c, scrum team, points, feature which are all easily editable then that is great way to save keystrokes.  I just didn't want to clone stories and have something that can't be edited that would skew the age of my stories to be based on the original story and not the new story.

Thanks for clarifying.  When the new issue is created it gets a new "created" date/time.
