How to import schemas from one Jira instance to another Jira Instance

[Farrukh Baig]

I am trying to determine whether I can copy schemas that I created in the QA Jira software instance to a production Jira instance

This includes all the schemas in the instance. Is it possible to do so?

Thanks for the help!

Hello @Farrukh Baig 

Welcome to the Atlassian community.

There is not native functionality for that unless you want to copy projects.

If you want to copy only schemes you'll need a third party app such as this one:

Hi @Farrukh Baig and welcome to the community!

If you are willing to try a third-party app, you can also try our Deep Clone for Jira.

Deep Clone can clone projects including their schemes across Jira Cloud instances.

Hi @Farrukh Baig

Jira doesn’t let you copy all schemas from QA to Prod directly. Most teams export/import configs individually or use a migration tool. A few things worth thinking about first:

• Do you need only the schema structures, or the data too?
• Will fields, workflows, and permissions stay linked properly?
• Manual import/export can break dependencies or miss details.
• A phased approach helps test safely before production.

If simplify the process, you may consider OpsHub Migration Manager (OMM) — an Atlassian Solutions Partner — can handle schema moves while keeping relationships and history intact, with no downtime or disruption.

Hope it helps!
