In Jira, there is an option to clone the test cases which is really good option.
Once the test cases are cloned, test case title is appended with the text (Clone) .
I have tried to bulk edit the test cases, but it doesn't help. I am wondering if there is an efficient way to bulk edit the cloned test cases.
Hey @asadiq
Totally get the frustration.
Since Jira’s bulk edit doesn’t support modifying summary fields directly, here are a couple of ways to clean up those titles efficiently:
1. Automation for Jira (No-Code Approach)
You can set up an Automation Rule to strip out the "(Clone)" from cloned issues automatically. Here’s how:
{{issue.summary.replace("(Clone)", "").trim()}}
This way, every time a test case is cloned, the annoying tag disappears instantly.
2. Bulk Update via ScriptRunner (If You’re Comfortable with Scripting)
If you have ScriptRunner installed, you can run a simple Groovy script to bulk-remove "(Clone)" from existing test cases. Something like this:
If you don’t have admin rights or access to ScriptRunner, your Jira admin might be able to help set this up.
3. CSV Export & Import (Manual but Effective)
Hope one of these works for you! Let me know if you need any help setting it up.
Cheers,
Renata
