[#1]

Hello Jira users!

Are you facing challenges with bulk cloning issues or cloning issues across multiple projects in Jira?

Do you find Jira Automation to be too restrictive or difficult to configure for cloning issues?

Elements Copy & Sync could be the perfect solution to streamline and automate your cloning and synchronization processes. Let’s explore how!

⚙️ What can you use Elements Copy & Sync for?

Elements Copy & Sync offers a variety of use cases, with the most common being:

• Issue escalation: When managing a Jira Service Management (JSM) project, it's crucial to ensure that high-priority issues are addressed promptly. With Elements Copy & Sync, you can clone an issue from a JSM project to a Jira Software project to enhance incident resolution. Both issues are synchronized, including comments, ensuring everyone is informed about the resolution progress. This feature is particularly useful for maintaining transparency and efficiency in issue management. Additionally, customers can access real-time updates on the JSM portal, providing them with peace of mind and timely information.

• Project Templating: For teams that handle recurring projects, the ability to create new projects with predefined issues is a significant time-saver. Elements Copy & Sync allows you to bulk clone issues and epics along with their child issues from a project template. This ensures consistency across similar projects and reduces the time spent on repetitive cloning tasks. By automating this process, you can focus more on strategic planning and less on manual issue creation, leading to more efficient project management.

• Onboarding Issue Creation: Onboarding new employees involves numerous tasks that need to be tracked and managed. Elements Copy & Sync simplifies this process by automatically generating a set of issues based on a multi-select field. This ensures that all necessary onboarding tasks are created and assigned without manual intervention. By streamlining the onboarding process, you can ensure a smoother transition for new hires and reduce the administrative burden on your HR and management teams.

• Cross-Project Cloning: Managing issues across multiple projects can be challenging, especially when ensuring that all relevant teams have the necessary information. With Elements Copy & Sync, you can clone issues across multiple projects, ensuring that relevant teams in different projects have access to necessary information and updates without duplicating effort. This feature is essential for maintaining alignment and communication across various projects, enhancing overall project collaboration.

• Customizable Cloning Rules: Every project has unique requirements, and Elements Copy & Sync allows you to set specific rules for cloning based on issue types, fields, and custom workflows. This customization ensures that the cloning process fits your unique project requirements and workflows. By tailoring the cloning rules, you can ensure that the cloned issues meet your specific needs, improving the accuracy and relevance of cloned data.
