Update multiple queries at once

[Harry Shayhorn]

I would like to know if there is an easy way to copy and modify queries for one Jira project and use them for another Jira project without updating each individual query string? Is there a way to make the query string generic so it works for multiple Jira projects or do a bulk update to the queries? Updating these queries each time I create a new Jira project takes a lot of time.

I don't know of a way to do this using built-in functionality, unfortunately.

If you are in Jira Server or Data Center, ScriptRunner comes with a built-in script called "copy project," which can copy a project's schemes, versions, components, issues, etc. This also includes the ability to copy project-specific dashboards and filters if they all begin with the source project's key (for example, if the source project's key is PKEY, then the "copy project" script will copy all filters and dashboards starting with "PKEY-").

More info from ScriptRunner's docs here. If you're on Server and don't have ScriptRunner, I highly recommend it - one of the most useful Jira apps out there.
