JIRA Automation - Clone multiple tasks in an epic every month for recurring tasks

[igregg]

We have about 15 monthly tasks that occur and I am trying to set up an automation to clone all 15 tasks every month. I see mentions in the documentation multiple issues can be cloned at once, but don't how that can be done in action task. I can do this with 15 action tasks per story, but wanted to see if anyone knows how to clone multiple tasks in one action.

Hi @igregg and welcome to the community!

With our app Deep Clone for Jira, you can automate cloning your issues with all its child issues.

You can use a Jira Automation to trigger an Epic/Tree Clone post function and clone them according to your schedule. You can read more on that in our documentation.

Hi @igregg

If you’re looking for a faster and more straightforward solution compared to Automation to clone multiple tasks in one action, I can suggest trying our app Elements Copy & Sync.

The recipes are compatible with Automation so that you can set a "when" trigger for every month.

Don't hesitate to try the app, it's free during 30 days (and it stays free under 10 users).

Hi, @igregg

You can create Automation rule, that will run each month and clone child issues in required Epic.

Hello @igregg 

Welcome to the Atlassian community.

Can you provide links to the documentation you have found?

One way to clone multiple issues on a schedule is to use an Automation Rule with a Scheduled trigger and include in the trigger a JQL statement that selects the issues to be cloned

Then you add a Clone Work Item action. That action will be run against each issue found with the JQL in the Scheduled trigger.

In that way, you can have one action that will clone multiple issues.

Welcome to the community.

Something like this should do the trick.
