Is there a way to copy bunch of issues (child issues) from one epic to another?

Question

Hi everyone,

I have to perform the same tasks in many Epics and I was wondering if there is an easy way to copy sub-tasks (child issues) from one to other epics.  The clone option seems to just create a link, which is not what I like to do.  The bulk edit function doesn't provide an option for copying.

Much appreciate any pointer that could help us move along faster and easier.

Thank you,

Sam

There is not a bulk clone option that is delivered.  So you would need to do one of two things.  Purchase and app (https://marketplace.atlassian.com/search?hosting=cloud&product=jira&query=clone)  or bulk export the issue and then import them via CSV https://support.atlassian.com/jira-cloud-administration/docs/import-data-from-a-csv-file/

Using the import is easy once you get the format setup correctly so using this delivered functionality is actually a pretty simple way to go.
