Hi community,

 if I clone the task with its subtask what will happen? Does it copy all the details in it?

Thanks

Hi @Saqib Dar 

Here's an extract from Atlassian documentation :

Cloning an issue

Cloning an issue lets you quickly create a duplicate of an issue within the same project. The cloned issue contains most of the same details stored in the original issue — e.g. Summary, Affects Versions, Components, etc. Other details are not cloned — e.g. Work Log, Comments, Issue history, and Links to Confluence pages. The issue status also returns to the first step of the corresponding workflow, and the resolutions are cleared. The cloned issue can be linked to the original issue, but does not have to be.

1. Open the issue you wish to clone.
2. Select More > Clone. The Clone Issue screen will appear.
3. You can edit the clone issue's Summary if you want.
4. If applicable to the issue you are cloning, you can also select from these options:
   • Clone sub-tasks to copy existing sub-tasks
   • Clone attachments to add any existing attachments
   • Clone links to add any existing linked issues
   • Clone sprint values to copy across the issue's current and closed sprint values
5. Click Create.

I would suggest you to create a task and 2-3 sub-tasks and then clone the issue to see the different screens and options.

Hope this helps

Have a nice day
