Cloning a Structure

AJ

So I have a Structure.   In that structure, I have a bunch of Epics.  Within that Epic, I have created some issues (By going inside the Epic and click on "+" next to "Issues in Epic").   Now I am trying to clone this structure.   

When I clone and do not choose any option from the Cloning Parameters, then it only clones the Epics and not the issues under it.   

When I clone and choose the option "Copy Issue Links" from the Cloning Parameters, then it removes those issues under the Epic from the original structure and creates them in the new structure. 

I would like the issues to still be linked to original Epic and a clone of those issues created which get linked to the new Epics.   Is that possible?

Hello Egor,

The issue under the Epics are in the original structure.  This is because I have the Extender of "Linked Issues" in my original structure.

Hi @AJ 

From the description, it seems that the issues you created under Epics are not in the original structure, am I correct? If so, then they won't be copied indeed, as Structure only works with what is in the scope of the structure being cloned. You'd have to add Stories under Epics extender to your structure to add those issues to it before cloning.

Please, let me know if this helps.

Regards,
Egor
