Enable cloning of Epics + Linked issues

[Sushmitha]

We would like to be able to clone Epics along with the issues (Tasks, Story) that are linked to it. 

Can anyone help me to clone epics with linked issues ?

Hi @Sushmitha ,

As per my knowledge, out of the box this feature is not available. 

You may have to go with third party plugins like 

• Template (Epic) Cloner for Jira
• Clone Plus for Jira

Hi @Sushmitha 

It's Aleksandra from Deviniti, the vendor of the Issue Templates for Jira app.

After reading your post I can see that the use case you described can be accomplished with the templates functionality we provide. In short, the app allows you to create a repository of re-usable templates that may not only copy over various fields' values, but also populate predefined structures of Epics, Stories, Tasks with Sub-tasks, and any additional issue links.

The app is currently available for all hosting options including Jira Server/DC and Cloud. Feel free to ask here in case of any additional questions about the functionality or the  required setup.

I'll be happy to help!

Cheers,
Aleksandra
