Possible clone a set of issues and its updates from one jira project to another jira project?

[Vasanthakumar V]

I need to clone set of jira issues and its updates(i.e. status,field update) (which will be labeled as Test_plan) from one project to another jira project and take updates from those issues whenever it updates in source project . Is there a way to do it?

Hi Vasanthakumar,

Yes, you should be able to do that with an Automation Rule or ScriptRunner. 

With automation, create a rule based on a trigger for when you want it to clone the issue - Issue Created, Issue Transitioned, Field Value Changed, Scheduled, etc. 

Then add any conditions needed. 

Next add a new action for Clone Issue. You can select a different project to clone it into. 

Then add a Branch after that for Most Recently Created Issue.

Then under the Branch add a new action for Link Issue. 

Then choose Clones and Trigger Issue.
