Cloning and syncing issues: Why choose Elements Copy & Sync over Jira Automation?

[#1]

Hello Jira users! 

Do you ever struggle to bulk clone issues in Jira? Do you need to clone epics with their child issues? Is Jira issue synchronization something that could be helpful?

You probably tried to do it with Jira native features in the first place and found out that it is quite... limited. Whether you're working on project templating, issue escalation, or simply moving and cloning issues across projects, here is some information that might help you get it done in record time!

Jira Automation for cloning and synchronizing

Jira Automation is a powerful tool for cloning Jira issues and performing basic cloning and synchronizing tasks.

If you want to clone issues from one project to another, clone epics with their child issues, synchronize issues, or clone projects, you’ll likely find a way to do it, but at what cost?

Many customers struggle to create a bunch of separate rules to perform a single action, sometimes even needing to write JSON in particular cases.

The main challenge appears when you try to clone a full hierarchy of issues: you need to create one rule per issue type, which can be time-consuming.

Overall, you can perform cloning and synchronizing actions, but you definitely need some technical and advanced knowledge on how Jira Automation works to effectively clone epics with their child issues.
