What I want:
Clone following Epic with following structure of Tasks and Subtasks (inside a Team-Managed Project):
What I have so far:
Via Automation, I get the Epic Cloned and also the Tasks but I cannot get the subtasks too:
Automation Logic:
Hello @Nacho García-Robledo
If you don't mind testing an add-on, Elements Copy & Sync lets you do exactly that.
Full disclosure, I'm the Product Manager of the app.
With our app, you will be able to clone Epics with all their issues, including subtasks, and keep the hierarchy.
It is as easy as clicking on two options, which are explained in our tutorials:
The app is free for 30 days, (and stays free if your instance is under 10 users), so feel free to give it a try, and don't hesitate to tell reach our Support if you have any question.
Kind regards,
Julien
Thanks @Julien Peyrade _ Elements , unfortunately we are not allowed to bring any add-on which has an impact on cost.
In any case thanks for your time!

Did you look at the answer I provided in Jan. 26, 2023 that references this post?

Given that the original post is over a year old, please start a new Question in the community to get additional help with your scenario. That will make your request for help visible to more community members, rather than notifying only the community members involved with this one Question
If this Question and/or the other post I referenced are relevant to your scenario, in Clyde links to them in your new Question.
Also explain how your scenario is different.
Please include images of the rule you have created and note how it is not meeting your requirements.

Hi there @Nacho García-Robledo
I just tried to copy paste what you have and at first I got errors, and then I got a purple status
Here is my automation.
I would love to see where I potentially went wrong.

Thank you @Nacho García-Robledo .
Here's the error. It talks about having an error in the clone issue for the parent not belonging to an appropriate hierarchy

I have checked mine again and it works, with the problems I mentioned before.
The structure of Epic/Task/subtask I have is:

Hello @Nacho García-Robledo
Please show the rule Audit Log details for an execution of this rule where the subtasks are not cloned.

Hello @Trudy Claspill , here it is the log file:
as per my understanding I have here 2 problems:
1. The variable is not taking really the key for the subtask as it takes the one for the issue that triggered the point
2. it does not iterate, therefore it will generates only 1 subtastk

Between 2 and 3 you are starting a branch to iterate through the child issues of the Epic. The branch clones the child issues.
Between 3 and 4 you have a Condition to check for Subtasks. A Condition is not a Branch, so there is no iterating over the Subtasks in the original child issue that was cloned.
Automation for Jira does not currently support having a Branch within a Branch. So, within the iteration of cloning child issues you cannot add another branch to iterate over the original issue's subtasks and clone them also.
I have not worked out all the details, but I believe you may need a separate rule to clone the subtasks. I'm sure there are other posts in the Atlassian Jira communities on this topic. If I find one that presents the solution, I'll post a link.

This post includes an answer where the person does the cloning in two rules. A status change triggers the rule, but you could modify that trigger to something else.
I have not worked through the automation rule myself, so I can't attest that it works as written. If you try to replicate the two rules and run into trouble, post what you have and we can help debug.

Thanks a lot.
I have copied the automation rules from the post you mentioned and only the first automation works.
The problem is that the second does not get triggered; in principle it should kick in after detecting that a label has changed, but it does not when the label is changed by the first automatism.
If I change it myself manually it works :S

On the Rule Details page for the second rule did you check the box that says "Check to allow other rule actions to trigger this rule."

@Nacho García-Robledo did you get your automation to work, to clone your Epics with Stories and the Stories Subtasks?
I am looking for the same thing, preferably withouth extra cost.
If you succeeded it would be really great to see how you've done it
